Sparrows : a novel
Get ready for all the feels!
​
Sparrows takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotion, immersing you in the semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story of young Isabelle.
How will she navigate suffering through constant abject poverty, experiencing monumental loss, and being a witness to violence and racial injustice? How will she make sense of a world that doesn't seem to have a lot of sense?
Hard hitting and raw, yet, somehow laced with moments of laugh-out-loud humor and unexpected joy, the story is filled with life lessons you didn’t even know you needed.

"This gem was my 75th book of the year. Sometimes you just come across a book that literally touches you all the way to your soul, and for me, that is exactly what this book did. I laughed, I cried, and felt every emotion in between."
Goodreads reader review
"Betit tells of [the daily struggle to survive] with alarming detail, the imagery too haunting to have been the figment of some writer's imagination."
