For The Birds : a romance

For the Birds is a story of passion, trauma, recovery, and the power within each of us to make a difference.      

Claire Dessalines is a single mom in a small coastal Delaware town. She's taking a second chance at life, starting a career in the world of wildlife biology.  When widower Brian Melodus moves to town and tries to connect with her, it looks like she’ll have a second chance at love, too, not that she wants it. She’s cynical about romance, and sure she can’t trust him. Just because he’s running some of the State's most important wildlife rehabilitation programs doesn’t mean he’s relationship material. But when tragedy strikes and Brian is the only person available to help her, Claire has no choice but to rely on him.  Circumstances and their shared passion for environmental issues keep bringing them together, and if Claire truly wants to heal, she’ll have to try letting someone into her heart.
