The Keeper of the Sparrows
Broken Sparrows I


With his cherubic face, dark eyes and black curls, four-year-old Jesse
Grainger is a living, breathing doll--until he opens his mouth, and the curse
words start flying.
Semifinalist: The Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Contest, 2008

Social Worker Lavinia Lanigan first encounters Jesse in a Georgia
hospital, and that meeting marks the beginning of a relationship that
evolves to one of trust and then love.

Lavinia, herself the product of an abusive home, loves all her little
broken sparrows, the children of social services. But Jesse is the
light of her life.

What Lavinia doesn't know is that behind Jesse's bright facade lies a
web of dark secrets that will challenge her beliefs, jeopardize her
career, and ultimately threaten her life.

I knew, from the
moment I first laid
eyes on Jesse
Grainger, that he
would someday do
great things--if he
could only manage
to live long enough
to do them.

Whether those
things would be
great and
wonderful, or great
and terrible, I
could not then say.
But I knew,
always, that he was
different from the
rest of us… as all
great people are.
