Blackbird

By Jess A. Mielbick

What if the life you're meant to live is just beyond the one you know?

Blackbird follows the alternating perspectives of two women weaving their futures from the threads of the past.

Eloise, creative, sarcastic, and quicker to comfort others than herself, faces an unexpected, life-altering decision: what future will she create for her child? In the process, repressed pieces of herself surface like the iceberg that sank the Titanic, forcing her to consider herself first for once.

Lucy, armed with wit, a cup of pretentious coffee, and enough therapy to bankrupt a small nation, is determined to be the mother she never had. Breaking cycles isn't as easy as breaking into an anxious sweat though, and the shadows of her past haunt her.

When visions start to blur the lines for both women, they're left questioning everything- especially whether they're losing their minds... or finally waking up to who they really are. As their pregnancies and visions unfold, Eloise and Lucy face the messy, sometimes painful realities of family, identity, and the ripple effects of their choices.

Mielbick's sharp, heartfelt debut explores how healing begins with one decision and invites readers to discover the unexpected magic between what was and what could be.
