Synopsis

In 1847, the McCord family, filled with hope for prospects of a better life, packed all their earthly belongings into covered wagons and left their homes in Indiana for Texas. The world beyond was in front of seven-year-old Fidelia, and little did she know, as the wagons traveled down the dusty trail to the southwest, that there would be the need for all the courage she could muster. Her faith would be tested and fortitude found in the most unexpected places.

Let the Little Birds Sing is the beginning of Fidelia McCord’s story, of the hardships she encounters and sees around her, told through the eyes of a precocious and determined girl. It is a tale set in early America inspired by the journey of a girl coming of age amidst the perils of settling in a new and untamed land.

Review

“I felt like I was right there, with Fidelia, as she traveled to Texas. Through Fidelia’s eyes, we see raw emotion and questions about growing up during the unpredictable times of nineteenth-century Texas, emotions and questions that are still relevant today. This moving portrait of a family’s struggles holds the reader’s attention from beginning to end. Leaves me wanting more.”
