About the Book

A spellbinding story about a family of women separated by oceans, generations and war, but connected by something much greater-- the gift of wings. Prudence Eleanor Vilkas was born with a pair of wings molded to her back. Considered a birth defect, her wings were surgically removed, leaving only the ghost of them behind. Growing up in Los Vientos, Florida Prudence meets her long-estranged Lithuanian grandfather and discovers a miraculous lineage beating and pulsing with the past Lituanian bird-women. ABOVE US ONLY SKY is the story of Prudence and the Vilkas women as the novel spans centuries. Most of all, it is a story of moral understanding between the old and young; a story of survival, and most importantly about where we belong in the world.

Review :
"Above Us Only Sky is a raw, beautiful, unforgettable book that folds unfathomable horrors and unfathomable love into a story of incredible power...a story so brilliantly simple and deeply moving, you'll forget you are reading a book. This story shook me to my core, and I can't wait for the rest of the world to experience it." -- "Lydia Netzer, author of Shine Shine Shine" "A gripping, heartwarming tale that affirms the strength of family connections despite tragedy, time and separation." -- "BookPage" "Charming...Imaginative and vivid storytelling." -- "Publishers Weekly" "Narrator Cassandra Campbell demonstrates her prodigious talent for voices and accents in Young-Stone's intergenerational story of magic, family, and survival." -- "AudioFile" "Rich with themes of love and loss. Young-Stone has spun a beautiful tale on the cusp of magical realism, but with 100 percent pure magical prose." -- "Heidi Durrow, author of The Girl Who Fell from the Sky" "The beautiful prose in Michele Young-Stone's Above Us Only Sky flies off the page. A stirring meditation on resilience, the ties that bind us to our past, and what it means to have wings." -- "Tracy Guzeman, author of The Gravity of Birds" "Young-Stone has written a novel that's both fanciful and brutally realistic, soaring as it does between angelic beings and heartless dictators. From America to Lithuania, from past to present, this is a heart-wrenching tale for literary fiction fans and particularly for readers interested in World War II." -- "Library Journal"
