Gypsy Of Spirits: Prequel To So Fell The Sparrow - Plot & Excerpts
Her death was a tragedy.For Sally Lockwood time moved slower than it had before. Clouds lingered, frozen in the sky. The indigo water of the harbor lay unnaturally calm. Dry leaves clung to the spindly branches of towering elms, the wind unwilling to shake them free.Sparrows no longer sang. Stray dogs refused to bark.It was as though the world itself had come to a stubborn standstill, though her young mind could not comprehend why.How was she to know what had happened to her? It had been such a sudden death.Her family home stood comfortably on its generous plot of land, all white colonial columns and blue siding set against the backdrop of a quaint and quiet seaboard town. The house and the town were all she knew, all she had seen of the world.In her short five years of life she had been sheltered from many horrific things. A Civil War that pitted brother against brother. The brutal destruction of entire towns. The slaying of over half a million men in the name of equality. The assassination of a prolific president.It was five years that would change the course of history; years she witnessed with the innocence of a child.
