Author Description

In the past few years Kaye Park Hinckley has emerged as a major talent in what Paul Elie calls "the literature of belief." Hinckley translates grace in a world on edge, sees a double beginning and ending in everything, literally everything, including the unspeakably awful. Like her novel A Hunger in the Heart, the stories in Birds of a Feather-several of which have won substantive awards-take us to the heart of the matter. The first story in this collection sits a reader bolt upright. Two stories in, you marvel at this storyteller, who sends us flying over new country, a landscape of modern parables where faith runs river-deep. Kaye Park Hinckley seems to overflow with beautiful, heartbreaking love and lessons. A world with broken wings can surely make use of such stories.-Charles McNair, author of Pickett's Charge and Land O'Goshen "With masterful control and skillful writing, Kaye Park Hinckley boldly explores a wide range of wounded souls in this amazing collection of stories, ultimately finding love in the unloveable, and grace in the sufferings of a complex world."-Cassandra King, author of The Sunday Wife
