Praise for Linda Holeman's Mercy's Birds, selected for the 1999 Books for the Teen Age by the New York Public Library and a finalist for the Canadian Library Association's Young Adult Book Award:
"Eloquent and impacting, Mercy's story is an engrossing one, charged with emotional depth." -Booklist
From Raspberry House Blues:
I went to the window and looked down on the small and weedy fenced backyard. Beyond, more trees and the roofs of houses. No mountains. No ocean.
One big bluebottle bounced on and off the bedroom screen with an exhausted, defeated buzz. The windowsill was littered with the assorted husks of dead insects. There was the smell of cat pee everywhere. I had to stop myself from pressing my forehead against the screen and weeping. I knew they were watching me.
