Synopsis
Bird, a thirteen-year-old girl with a mission, has run away in pursuit of her stepfather.

She's sure she'll be able to convince him to return home -- to fill the hole he left in their family.

And while she hides near his sister's farmhouse, she becomes entwined in the lives of three people who also have holes to fill: Ethan, whose heart troubles have kept him too sheltered from kids his own age; Jay, whose brother has died unexpectedly; and Mrs. Pritchard, whose house has been too empty since her husband was moved to a nursing home.

Through the unique voices of the three kids, an eloquent, affecting story unfolds -- the story of how one individual's warmth and kindness can heal so many hurts.

Bird will leave you thoroughly uplifted.
