About
"Nell Rowan has inherited her family's prairie farmstead and returned there to live after many decades away. She finds herself obsessed by the fate of a 19th-century bird collector who walked the land that she now walks. Though Nell finds consolation in the company of her border collie and horses, and the wild birds passing through each season, she feels increasingly isolated. Many of her neighbours seems indifferent to the ongoing devastation contemporary agriculture wreaks on prairie ecosystems and few are supportive of her attempts at tracking native bird populations. And now she is unable to escape the central mystery of her life: what happened to her mother, who vanished in a long-ago snowstorm? Things begin to shift for Nell when she provides temporary shelter to Carmelita, a fifteen-year-old foster child whose fresh view of the world around her just might rescue Nell from the hopelessness she fears is her inheritance."--Back cover.
