In this "hybridiary" of historical fiction and personal memoir, we peer inside baby incubators at Coney Island, waiting for childhood to take wing. We overhear the dying dreams of the Imperial Romanov family, and we fret the simple act of watching a child walk to class. Hope is a bright and constant thread: a tornado cuts a tender swath; a lady bides time inside a tiger's claws; teenagers preen on screens during pandemic lockdown. Rescues are fumbled but perpetually launched-and love is a gift the way the sun is a gift: constant and consoling, but also blinding, near-obliterating. Tragic, funny, and surreal, FEATHER ROUSING nests in the spaces between caretaking and grief, secret and spectacle, recollection and imagination, global anguish and private joy.

Only ten of her kind have been born. Only one of them is fighting for good. Violet Doveling is a seventeen-year-old nearing her senior year of high school, and weird things have started happening. Strange urges to leave the house. Even stranger urges to take lives. It's hard to believe that in the grand scheme of things Violet's actions are throwing the current balance of light and dark into a favorable position. After taking her first innocent life, Violet's everyday existence is thrown into a chaotic world of ghosts, demons, and the mysterious Umbrella Man. In the first book of The Endwar Series, Violet realizes who she is becoming, and how she alone may be the key to winning the everlasting war between good and evil.

In the nine stories of Let's Do, various calamities strike ordinary Midwesterners, who cope with a mixture of good intentions and ineptitude. Balancing humor with painful clarity, author Rebecca Meacham pulls readers into the lives of characters who struggle with - and more often against - change.
