Linda Broder loses everything when her fifteen-year-old son Brendan dies—her music, faith, and hope. Even the sound of birds singing outside her window brings pain. When a bird walks into her house, her husband and children embrace it as a sign from Brendan. But not Linda; she’s too logical to believe in signs. Still, birds keep clinging to Linda’s windows, whispering in her dreams, and showing up in unexpected places—pulling her back to music and showing her how to stay open to wonder.
Full of hope and resilience and the healing magic of music, And Still the Bird Sings is a story about finding sacred wonder in the midst of unimaginable loss, and a reminder of the many ways we can still connect with the ones we’ve lost.
After her teenage son dies, Linda Broder loses her faith, her music, and her hope. But then birds begin to show up in unexpected places—and take her on a spiritual journey that pulls her back to music, and teaches her how to find sacred wonder even in the midst of unimaginable loss.
