Description
During the autumn of 1896 in Portland, Maine, feisty society columnist Mollie Peer believes that a little ragamuffin boy, known only as Bird, is merely the subject of a story that will propel her to the level of a true reporter. Instead, the chain of events she sets in motion, and the heroic people she comes to know, lead her to better understand her own valor and compassionTags

Reid's writing rings with lyricism. His characters are well thought out, and well rounded. They drip with believability and vitality. His plotting is interesting in that it seems to meander a bit, but is always moving forward even when it appears to take a detour into an eddy or three. Recommended reading.
America Dickens, but with sunshine.
