My Words Flew Away Like Birds is a poetically told immigration story that fosters understanding and beautifully articulates how the desire to belong and the need for human connection are universal.

Chapter Three:

My eyes slowly flutter open. I feel Mother’s gentle hand brushing back hairs stuck to my forehead, when she realizes I’m away

I start to panic, remembering my best friend, the blood dripping from her head.

“Nadia?” I asked.

“She’s here too.” Mom says.

“I’m going to be sick.” I try not to cry. I’m scared, something isn’t right.

I am reviewing a copy of Courageous Faith: A Lifelong Pursuit of Faith Over Fear through Our Daily Bread Publishing:

In Courageous Faith we are reminded that getting up after failing is the hardest when we least expect that failure. But when the Lord tells us to get up, we need to do just that.

We are reminded too that everyone fails, but it’s not the failure that counts, it’s…
