I tried to soldier through this domestic Christian fiction title -- 9 weeks later, I'm halfway through and still haven't gotten to the point the library's summary describes. This is a book of process not plot. Gentle read, inspirational but not primarily in a religious way. First person enhances the story. I enjoyed the sense of place (Lynchburg & New Jersey & and even on the road) and the characterizations. Though it has received a Christy (Christian fiction) award, it is not evangelical -- Sam

I love Lisa Samson's writing. This character was also in a couple of her other books, so I knew some of the outcome based upon that. This is a story of hope and the love of Jesus for everyone.

I liked this book. I thought the author created the setting well and I really related to the time period in which it takes place. I would (and did) recommend this to a friend.

It was interesting; a sad soulful story of a little girl growing up in the South with mental illness in the family.

Lisa Samson puts other Christian Fiction writers to shame. Her characters are real, and not everything winds up in a perfect, predictable way. Samson is brave enough to show Christians with flaws, which is actually more refreshing and encouraging than the sickenly sweet, perfect Christians often portrayed in typical Christian fiction. Songbird was the first book by Samson that I read, and it is one of her best!

This is a very fun book to read. You can totally hear the southern, bubbly voice in the way it is written. It is also written in 1st person, which is different from most books I read, but definitely made the book better. Its an engaging story. I laughed and cried. I really enjoyed it and will be looking into more Lisa Sampson books.

It's definitely a girlie book. A little mushy, but Lisa Samson is the first Christian fiction writer I have come across whom I can stomach. It tells the story of a girl who has a very tragic life. She loses me a little towards the end in her choice of a mate for the main character (very cheesy). But is a good read, no kleenex needed.

I love Samson's writing! She's got great skills with dialog and characterization, and a wonderful way of combining wit with drama. This was the first of hers that I read, and still one of my favorites.

This was an easy read with endearing characters and an interesting look at the intersection of psychology and Christianity.

This story was awesome and quirky and made me think of the movie Beaches.
