This is the story of Elize and Erik. Elize's life revolves around her study of waterland birds, nothing else. No spoilers here! Reading the story you will discover how Elize overcomes her limitations and opens up to llfe.

Word of caution: I almost stopped reading this book because the first 30% of the book gets into the birds and details about the show more different species a little too deep for me. If you work through this, you will then get the true story and will not be able to put this book down. There is a lot of symbolism attached to the birds, etc. that interweave with our characters, so all not lost with the detailed descriptions. Just not for me. Beyond that, I loved the love story and would enthusiastically recommend this book!

On show more the way she serendipitously meets an enigmatic but unforgettable guy, which precipitates the notion that maybe she should take a side trip to the mountains to see the rare bald headed ibis since ibises have long been both her speciality and favorite bird.

Full of exotic locations and bird lore this is a perfect vacation book. Eliza’s soul searching makes it more substantial than a beach read, but it’s a transporting book suitable for actual or virtual/armchair travel. show less

A fast, enjoyable beach read, set in the fashion merchandising industry. Some loose threads and she stretches the plot a bit, but a good debut. I'll read more.
