“Allisa Cherry’s debut collection, An Exodus of Sparks, offers readers a riveting account of faith, loss, and fierce familial love. Using vivid and precise detail, clear syntax, and a diction both biblical and contemporary, Cherry achieves an emotional clarity that sizzles on the page and cuts to the heart.”
