CARLSBAD, CA (November 11, 2013) – Author Deborah K. McDade presents her debut novel, a tender jaunt through Jazz-Age and Depression-Era Southern California, accompanied by plenty of music and dancing.
Bluebirds Among the Whirlwinds opens with Suzanne, a young society woman of the Roaring ’20s, who follows her heart only to find that the winds of the Great Depression, Prohibition, and misfortune blow away her fleeting moments of happiness.
Weaving in period-specific details relating to local landmarks, literature, baseball, and politics, McDade will delight lovers of historical fiction. In Suzanne’s sometimes-stormy search for peace, readers will connect with the universal longing for true and lasting contentment ... and the oft-times circuitous route we take to get there.
