The 3rd book in The Fallmoore Chronicles
Her mother is an addict, her father is a mystery, and her favourite place on earth is the little diner where the man with the dirty hands hangs out. Bird has a gift, like every winged creature before her, she has been graced with the ability to find the sun. As flocks are drawn south, so too is Bird Mitena drawn to hope, even when her whole world is falling apart around her. Her mother thinks Bird is her salvation, yet treats her with cruelty. Bird wants to see her mother redeemed, but at what cost? Her dream is to leave behind the town that forgot about her; but how can anyone fly away if their wings have been clipped?
