When loss drives hawk-researcher Celia from her veterinarian husband, can a vast land and a quiet boy reunite them?
They last spoke as teens . . . but on a country road twelve years later, a surprise encounter reunites ornithologist Celia Burke with equine surgeon Burnaby Hayes, and they plunge into a most unexpected love story.
After a decade of marriage, Celia and Burnaby have found a unique and beautiful rhythm. Then tragedy strikes while Celia hunts for the nest of a research hawk near the Snake River. Reeling with grief, she’s certain Burnaby won’t understand her anguish or forgive the choice that initiated it.
She flees to kindness at a remote farm in Washington’s Palouse region, where a wild prairie and an appealing neighbor convince her to begin anew. But when unexplained accidents, cryptic sketches, and a mute little boy make her doubt her decision, only a red-tailed hawk and the endangered lives of those she loves can compel her to examine her past―and reconsider her future.
A soaring tale of wonder, loss, redemption, and restoration from Cheryl Grey Bostrom, the award-winning author of Sugar Birds.
