Albie by Sparrow Spaulding

Tender, playful, and revelatory; a magical tale of healing and rediscovering joy.

Spaulding’s latest novel is a heartfelt blend of whimsy and emotional depth, weaving together the magic of childhood with the complexities of adult grief and healing. The story centers on Greer Livingston, a woman in her thirties who is still grappling with the unresolved grief of losing her father as a child. Isolated and struggling to find joy, Greer’s life takes a surreal turn when her childhood stuffed rabbit, Albie, mysteriously springs to life. 

Spaulding deftly weaves humor and tenderness, especially through Albie’s charming British wit and his constant care for Greer. Greer’s transformation from a woman numbed by loss to one rediscovering life’s pleasures is rooted in authenticity. Albie, both a literal character and a metaphor for Greer’s inner child, becomes the vehicle through which she reconnects with her past and heals old wounds. Their relationship, though unconventional, forms the emotional core of the book. At its core, this is a story about healing, self-discovery, and the profound connections we forge—with others and with our own inner child. Perfect for readers who enjoy stories that blend whimsy with emotional depth.
