Singer-Songwriter Cindy Morgan to Promote Debut Novel at Multiple Book Events

CAROL STREAM, Ill.—April 14, 2023
Singer-songwriter Cindy Morgan will appear at several events following the release of her debut novel, The Year of Jubilee on April 18, 2023. The Year of Jubilee is a lyrical coming-of-age novel set against the backdrop of the turbulent South in the early 1960s. It explores themes of childhood trauma, grief, complex mother-daughter relationships, and race relations.

Cindy’s debut has already been met with praise. Library Journal writes, “In her adult fiction debut (a semi-autobiographical novel), singer-songwriter Morgan (How Could
I Ask for More: Stories of Blessings, Battles, and Beauty) highlights the hardscrabble life of the 1960s working poor. Fans of classic coming-of-age stories such as To Kill a Mockingbird or A Tree Grows in Brooklyn will enjoy this unflinching tale of an American family longing for a ‘Year of Jubilee,’ where debts are forgiven and captives are set free.”

Cindy’s next music project, The Sounds of Jubilee, is based on the characters and themes of the novel and will release on May 26. The lineup of book events is as follows:
