\n\u201cThe\u00a0Bird\u00a0Saviors <\/em>is an immersing and emotional piece of literature\u2026\u00a0In a voice reminiscent of Charles Frazier\u2019s<\/strong>,\u00a0The\u00a0Bird\u00a0Saviors <\/em>tells\u00a0a fascinating story<\/strong> of success in spite of chaos, opportunity in spite of despair, and love in spite of hate.\u201d\u2013Booklist<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u201cBill Cobb’s\u00a0The\u00a0Bird\u00a0Saviors<\/em> is a stark modern-day Old Testament story in which\u00a0the\u00a0evil that\u00a0men do is barely balanced by\u00a0the\u00a0good that a few manage to achieve.\u00a0 It’s a gritty harrowing story set in a dust-blown Colorado town that seems filled with vivid characters.\u00a0 Cobb’s expert story-telling compels us forward scene by scene to a final satisfying redemption.\u201d\u2014Kent Haruf<\/strong>

\n“A novel told with an unexpected and appealing warmth;\u00a0the\u00a0characters in\u00a0The\u00a0Bird\u00a0Saviors<\/em> become increasingly memorable, page by page, and\u00a0the\u00a0story pulled me in without hullabaloo or fuss– this is good, confident storytelling.”\u2014Aimee Bender<\/strong><\/p>\n
