BLACKBIRD: A CHILDHOOD LOST

The house on Mary Street, Carson City, Nevada is the only place five-year-old Jennifer Lauck will ever call home. It''s where the sky is deep blue, forever blue, and there are almost never any clouds up there. It''s where Jennifer lives with her older brother B.J., her father and mother, and their two cats Moshe and Diane. It should be a perfect, peaceful childhood - but Jennifer''s mother is ill, very ill, and a childhood is the last thing Jennifer is going to be allowed.
