Nikki Moustaki has had a lifelong love affair with birds, a love affair inspired and nurtured by her grandfather's love and respect for birds. But when Nikki was a young woman, she had to abandon her birds during a hurricane and, when she returned, she found, to her horror, that most of her birds had suffered an awful death. For years she blamed herself and she began a gradual and total decline into alcoholism. It is only when she rediscovers birds that she begins her emergence from this darkness. And that is this beautiful story.
