Captured me in the first moments and never let me down. The best fiction contains all truth. This is very good. The sun here came out for the first time in weeks and I was hard pressed to put the book down and enjoy the warming rays. A book easily started and finished in one setting, as long as you ingnore the sunshine calling. As a mother, I see how even unintentially I am affecting my daughters lives and feelings of self.

Ava Sing Lo has been accidentally killing her Mother's birds. Now she leaves home to volunteer to help invironmental activists save thousands of birds. Helen, her mother, has been haunted by her past. Helen was drawn into prostitution fon a segregated American army base in Korea.

The book captures a young woman's struggle to come to terms with her mother's past while she searches for her own place in the world
