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 5 year old who suffers from juvenile diabetes.

But Ella soon realizes there is more sorrow in the isolated home that the little girl's illness. Harris Henderson, a single father, is withdrawn, seemingly better able to deal with the wild birds he rehablitates in his bird-of-prey sanctuary than with his daughter.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 santuary. But a troubled mohter's return will test the fragile bonds of trust and new love, and reveal the inherent risks and exhilarating beauty of flying free.
