Genre: Young Adult Fiction / Religious / Christian / Fantasy

Release Date: March 17, 2020

The world is blind…then one boy is born with sight.

Nestled in a mountain haven, the remaining people of the world live in a village that is ordinary but strict. A severe peace must be kept severely, as they say. It’s all that keeps them from descending into the chaos that claimed the world a hundred years ago.
Led by the Prophet Valdas and his Regents, the villagers work, play, marry, and have families. They gather in ceremony once a year to celebrate their Day of Remembrance. Life is planned, precise, and predictable until the special abilities of eleven-year-old Andrius threaten to undermine it all.

"For Whom The Sun Sings" by W.A. Fulkerson is a book that I did like and really loved the ending. I wanted more, ( just a hint for the author) maybe the he could write another book based on the ending!

This story made me sad in some parts, Andrius is treated so mean.

I wondered why Andrius always carried his water pitcher everywhere but when the reason is revealed I had to smile and say perfect.

This story is about people believing something that isn't true, just because it has been that way for a long time. Sometimes, what seems like a good thing is in fact evil.

I really think my favorite character, beside Andrius of course, would be Aleksandras because he believed in Andrius when no one else did. I just wished he would have been more courageous. His part is this story made me long for a different ending for him.

The book probably has a symbolic meaning to it, like we are all blind if we can't see God and how He loves us and etc, but I don't see how this book is a Christian read. Yes, the book is a clean read. And I recommend it, in fact I am going to see my granddaughters would like to read it during this time with the stay at home order we are all going through at this time.

I have to say I wouldn't have picked this book to read for myself if it wasn't part of a review tour, but I am glad I read it and will be looking for more books from W.A. Fulkerson.

I received a complimentary copy from the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are mine own.

You know the feeling.

Your co-worker is clearly lying again and again, but your boss doesn’t see it. People in your neighborhood keep voting for the same crooked politicians, but they don’t listen when you suggest an alternative. You know you’d be the perfect couple if he/she only gave you a chance. You’ve found the secret to living a better, freer life, but no one else cares to participate.

Sometimes, it seems like the whole world has gone crazy, and you’re the only one who refuses to swallow the crazy pills. It’s an aggravating feeling, and it lies at the heart of my new novel For Whom the Sun Sings.

It’s dedicated “To everyone who has ever felt alone in knowing the truth,” but the book is not an allegory. It doesn’t hint at political points or try to convince you of anything. It’s a catharsis, vented by way of a story that will hopefully have you putting off your to-do list so you can finish the book. (A lot of the advance readers have read it in just one day, which makes me feel good, as the author.)
The main character, Andrius, is the ultimate expression of that frustrated feeling of something being so clear to you, but you lack the ability to explain to, cajole, or convince anyone. Writing it felt like healing, for that reason, and I hope it’s refreshing to you as well.
