The Guilt of a Sparrow edition by Jess B Moore Literature Fiction eBooks

The themes of claiming identity and self-acceptance are prevalent in The Guilt of a Sparrow.

Magnolia ‘Maggie’ Porter has mastered the art of being invisible. After her father abandons the family, her older brother’s destructive behavior and her mother’s paranoia at being the object of town gossip caused Maggie to diminish herself, lest she draws attention from the judgmental eyes of Fox River or her family.

Cotton MacKenna was at odds with Maggie’s brother, Luke, for most of their young lives. Their constant fights were almost always a result of Luke’s treatment of his sister. When Cotton found out his squabbles with Luke didn’t save Maggie from anything, he took up the practice of avoiding Maggie whenever possible. So much so, she thought he revisited her brother’s misdeeds on her.

Luke is gone now and Maggie and Cotton must come to terms with what some already know—they have feelings for each other. Nothing is standing in their way except their pasts… and Maggie’s mom, Stella, who can’t let go of the past.

But letting go has to happen in this poignant read. Maggie has to let go of her teen-like self and be a twenty-four-year-old woman even though it means pushing back and standing up to her mom.

Cotton needs to let go of his self-hatred and constant fear of screwing up because of his temper. He is an honorable man, he just needs to believe it.

He has great support from his brothers who call him out on his choices and behavior. Younger brother, Dominic, is hands down my favorite in this read and the force which keeps it moving forward.

Maggie didn’t have a bad relationship with her mom, but she knows they’re co-dependent. She also knows it’s unhealthy and will keep her from moving forward, so lines will be drawn.

I have no doubt Maggie’s BFF, Alyssa, cared about her and had her back. Yet, I didn’t care for her. Far too pushy and intrusive. Dominic used a guiding hand—Alyssa was more controlling, making the decisions she thought best for Maggie. Meh.

This light romance shines when Maggie and Cotton are together talking. Not stumbling around for words, second-guessing themselves, or finding reasons to walk away. They’re more in sync than they realize, and will have to admit their fears from the past… then leave them there.

An enjoyable read, The Guilt of a Sparrow will appeal to readers in several genres, including women’s fiction.

Enjoy!

The Guilt of a Sparrow edition by Jess B Moore Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

If I could give more stars I would! This book was a fantastic read! I was grabbed in the first page and it wouldn’t let me go until I was done. Now waiting anxiously for the sequel. If you want a great romance this is it!!!
This book was beautifully written! I’m not just saying that because I know the author... but she really outdid herself with these characters.... I have such a great picture of what they look like and I was sad for the end of this one!!! I want more of Cotton and Magnolia!!!!! Great book, everyone needs to read this one!
Compelling and wistful. I loved every character and felt all of the many emotions described. Characters have shortcomings which are both realistic and endearing. Not too sappy either.
Very much hope to have more books about these characters!
Wonderful debut novel. The author has beautifully written a story that brings the reader right to into Magnolia’s world. Her attention to detail and imagery draws the reader into small town Fox River right from the very beginning. The characters are complex yet very relatable; you can tell that the author has spent meaningful time developing each one and how they fit into the story. Looking forward to more from Jess B. Moore.
The Guilt of a Sparrow was a wonderful novel! I absolutely loved the setting of the book. Living in a small southern town, I could relate to the town activities, including bluegrass jams. Jess B Moore did a great job with character development - expressing the relationships between the brothers, best friends who have each other's backs, Magnolia's complicated relationship with her mother, and the magnetic chemistry between Magnolia and Cotton. I can't wait to read Jess's next novel, as well as (hopefully!) the sequel to The Guilt of a Sparrow!
I really truly enjoyed reading this book. The author does a wonderful job of drawing you into her story and I appreciate her attention to detail as well as her development of each character. I couldn’t help but fall in love with everyone in Fox River!! Fantastic read and I HIGHLY recommend it!!!
I loved this well-written story. I understood Magnolia, the narrator, who had given in to her mother for so long, and now struggled to put herself first. And, despite the fact that the novel was written in the first person, I could understand the motives behind her mother's behaviour, too.

Magnolia changed during the novel, allowing others to see her true self, which had always been hidden before, banished by her upbringing. And because of that, her mother also changed, visibly struggling with her need to control.

Happy ever after... or is it? I can't believe the lives of the main characters will be plain sailing from now on, and would love to find out how they pan out.
