If little Marcela Crow had not been born to a body identical to her twin brother’s…
Would a young potter, who as a child lost her family to a house fire, have found the strength to parent her own child? Would a metallurgist have managed to forgive himself for betraying his brother, and fall in love again? Would a talented, heavily-scarred Shoshone chef have continued on his path to redemption? And, if the Crow family had not moved to Comfrey, who would have become the obsession of a strange and precocious four-year-old boy?
Book Two of the COMFREY, WYOMING series by Daphne Birkmyer introduces a small army that gathers to support Heidi, guardian to the Crow twins, as she reopens the town’s only restaurant and helps Marcela transition to her authentic self.
Daphne Birkmyer's background as a teacher and biologist continues to influence her written work, especially when it comes to environmental stewardship. Her multiracial, multicultural, gender diverse and neuro diverse family and friends enrich her novels with their ardent cries for representation and justice.
This was an interesting story, full of unexpected twists and turns. It is both entertaining and informative. A great read, especially appropriate in our time.
