The Scripture of Birds is a collection of poems, essays, and stories introspecting the sharp edges of grief, trauma, and healing following the escape of an abusive marriage. It explores the reality of growing up Evangelical in modern day America and escaping its indoctrination while posing poignant questions:
how do we go about changing these abusive systems, and how do we go about mending? Through stories of pain and growth,
The Scripture of Birds takes on the shape of a microcosmic memoir and candidly depicts the thought processes of someone under religious duress. Its critique of Christian Nationalism is honest and rueful, but not without hope for healing.
The Scripture of Birds is here to bring you comfort in the
unchangeable, momentum for the
changeable, while
reminding us that all we need to do is pay attention to the birds.
