The Someday Birds

Author: Sally J. Pla

Charlie’s world turns upside down when his dad is injured in Afghanistan. Suddenly, he’s on a cross-country road trip with his siblings and a mysterious woman, chasing his father’s recovery. Armed with his late grandfather’s birding journal, Charlie seeks comfort in his obsession with birds. As the miles fly by, he discovers that life, like birding, is full of unexpected detours and beautiful surprises. A touching tale of family, hope, and the healing power of nature.

Sometimes, you have to let yourself be carried by the current, even when you can't see where it's taking you.
