About this title

From the Publisher:

"Feather in the Wind is warm, new inspirational fiction filled with mystery, surprising twists, romance, tears and laughter. It separates itself from the crowd by being a brutally honest, poignantly scripted interplay between creative man and his Creator. This is the first novel by J.D.H. Duncan, possessor of the pen of a ready writer who speaks from a truthful heart of love and, it seems at times, with the tongues of angels.

"Both the language and message of Feather in the Wind are rich, deep, and intricate. Read this novel for its beauty -- and be blessed by the satisfying spiritual insights it so willingly and clearly offers.

Your purchase blesses others also. Part of profits from Feather in the Wind goes to proven anti-poverty programs, such as Habitat for Humanity, the Salvation Army, and The Lord's Place for the homeless and hungry.

"Blessings are sneaky. Sometimes they come up behind you. This message is a central theme of Feather in the Wind, and in this case art does indeed imitate reality. This novel will bless you in ways you perhaps never imagined. Buy it for the blessing (and to own a first edition) -- and you will forever be able to tell people you were among the first to discover J.D.H. Duncan. This gutsy, gifted new author is a contemporary hybrid -- a less-eloquent Updike, a "for dummies" C.S. Lewis, and at least a whiff of the rich bouquet of famous Scottish novelist George MacDonald.

"Some people are shrewd enough observers of emerging talent to own, for example, the first Bonnie Raitt album. Published in the 1970's when Bonnie was an evolving flower child -- not the Hot Momma musical dynamo she is today -- the album is still collectively choice. Buying J.D.H. Duncan's first novel may prove a similar investment. While the best is undoubtedly still to come, Feather in the Wind is yet a good humble beginning."
