Who is Blue, the seemingly immortal young woman who does not age?In the tribe of Israel, she is known as Serrah, daughter of Asher, but to those who love her, she has always been Blue. As a girl raised by her mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and aunties, she carries with her the teachings of matriarchs that emphasize love, kindness, and compassion.
As time passes, and generations, also, Blue holds the history and the memory of her tribe's past. With her wisdom, she's prepared to lead her people out of Egypt and into the future. But can a woman hold that role? Will the nation follow her?
In the final book of the Desert Songs Trilogy, Blue chronicles her extraordinary life so that her experiences and those of other women of her tribe can at last be known. From the early days of tribal life in her homeland to the famine that drives the Israelites to Egypt, a descent into slavery, the monumental Exodus, wanderings in the wilderness, and finally a nation of people returning home, Blue's voice is the thread that weaves through the heart of this epic journey.
The Song of the Blue Bird is a story of community, cooperation, and the struggles and triumphs of striving for freedom. The reader is invited into the heart of one woman's unique life--a woman whose commitment and love leave a legacy that will echo for generations to come.
