FEATHERS & TRUMPETS, A Story of Hildegard of Bingen

Enduring a beginning unimaginable to today’s teens, Hildegard strains against the ascetic lifestyle of Jutta, her mentor nun. Relationships with Volmar, her monk tutor and Richardis, her daughter nun, bring joy to Hildegard. But does she allow herself to love them too much?

Feathers and Trumpets chronicles the life of the mystic Hildegard of Bingen, the recently named saint and Doctor of the Church against the backdrop of a rich tapestry we know as the Middle Ages.

Feathers and Trumpets was awarded the Moonbeam-SealIllum_silverMedal2015 ILLUMINATION Silver medal for Young Adult fiction and the 2014 Moonbeam Silver Medal for YA Religion & Spirituality
