E.R. nurse Ella Majors has seen all the misery that she can
handle. Burned-out and unsure of her next step, she accepts
the temporary position as caregiver to Marion Henderson, a
frightened five-year-old who suffers from juvenile diabetes.
But Ella soon realizes there is more sorrow in the isolated
home than the little girl's illness. Harris Henderson, a
single father, is withdrawn, seemingly better able to deal
with wild birds he rehabilitates in his birds-of-prey
sanctuary than with his own daughter.
Then something magical begins to happen: the timeless beauty
of the South Carolina coast and the majestic grace of the
wild birds weave a healing spell on the injured hearts at
the sanctuary. But a troubled mother's unexpected return
will test the fragile bonds of trust and new love, and
reveal the inherent risks and exhilarating beauty of flying
free.
