Summary

Selected for the June 2012 Indie Next List

Having received an abundance of critical acclaim for his previous novels, award-winning author William J. Cobb adds to his already impressive reputation with this superbly crafted dystopian novel. Ruby Cole sees her Colorado town struck by a dust storm and blanketed in pink snow. With the world slipping into turmoil, Ruby's father presents her with a terrible choice: abandon her child or marry a man who is twice her age. Steadfast, Ruby refuses either option, setting in motion an unsettling series of events.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“A timeless story of love and redemption, a classic tale of good vs. evil, and a can’t-miss page-turner that leaves readers wanting more.” —ForeWord magazine
“A fascinating story of success in spite of chaos, opportunity in spite of despair, and love in spite of hate.” —Booklist
“Bill Cobb’s The Bird Saviors is a stark modern-day Old Testament story in which the evil that men do is barely balanced by the good that a few manage to achieve. It’s a gritty harrowing story set in a dust-blown Colorado town that seems filled with vivid characters. Cobb’s expert storytelling compels us forward scene by scene to a final satisfying redemption.” —Kent Haruf, New York Times bestselling author
“A novel told with an unexpected and appealing warmth; the characters in The Bird Saviors become increasingly memorable, page by page, and the story pulled me in without hullabaloo or fuss—this is good, confident storytelling.” —Aimee Bender, New York Times bestselling author
