The Birds Sang a Sad Song: Based on a True Story of Depression, Tragedy, Love, and Faith - Paperback

by David C. Craig (Author)

The Birds Sang a Sad Song is based on a true story with some changes to preserve the identities of all involved. The young man coming of age, always faceless, nameless and anonymous, always afraid of exposure, judgment and misunderstanding because of complex mental health issues leads us in his story of frustration and fear in the very communities where he should find love and acceptance. Certain of his faith in Christ, uncertain of his future he winds his way through the labyrinth of suffering, persecution and despair. His only hope is in his imagination where he can exist with his problems and not be anonymous. In this shadow world he gradually comes to acceptance of who he is and in turn finds some acceptance by others. Progressively his imagination brings some hope in his own life as well.
