The Year of Jubilee

De: Cindy Morgan

Narrado por: Sisi Aisha Johnson

The Mockingbird family has always lived peacefully in Jubilee, Kentucky, despite the divisions that mark their small town. Until the tense summer of 1963, when their youngest child, Isaac, falls gravely ill. Middle sister Grace, nearly fourteen, is determined to do whatever it takes to save her little brother. With her father and mother away at the hospital, Grace is left under the loving but inexperienced eye of her aunt June, with little to do but wait and worry. Inspired by a young teacher’s mission for change, she begins to flirt with danger—and with a gifted boy named Golden, who just might be the key to saving Isaac’s life. Then the unthinkable happens, and the world as she knows it shifts in ways she never could have imagined. Grace must decide what she believes amid the swirling, conflicting voices even of those she loves the most.

From gifted songwriter Cindy Morgan comes this lyrical, tender tale of a girl standing at the threshold of adulthood, learning the depths of the human heart and the bonds of family that bend, break, and bind together over and over again.

The Year Of Jubilee by Cindy Morgan

I haven’t had a book hold my attention like this in years!! I read the book through twice and listened to the full audible 3 times. This beautiful story made me so happy and also so sad. Cindy’s words draw you into the world of Jubilee and makes you want to stay!! I recommend this book wholeheartedly!! Love it, love it, love it!!!!!

Stunningly beautiful journey of loss, racial struggle and liberation

It is almost unfathomable that The Year Of Jubilee is Cindy Morgan’s first novel. The story, as told through the eyes of Grace Mockingbird, is sorrowful, hopeful, funny and tragic. The story weaves through a heartbreaking family tragedy as we follow Grace in her many adventures, seeking to do everything she can to head off the coming devastation her family is headed for while she also navigates the racial tensions surrounding the integration of her small hometown of Jubilee and finding herself along the way. The characters in the book are fleshed out in depth and draw you into their stories and the reasons they become who they are. You will very quickly find yourself lost in Jubilee and the people of Jubilee will remain with you long after the last word has been read.
