Description

In Nest. Flight. Sky. award-winning memoirist Beth Kephart returns to the form for the first time in years to reckon with the loss of her mother and a slow-growing but soon inescapable obsession with birds and flight. Kephart finds herself drawn to the startle of the winter finch, the quick pulse of hummingbirds, and the hungry circling of hawks. She discovers birds in the stories she tells and the novels she writes. She hunts for nests, she waits for song, she seeks the stories of bird artists, she waits. Nest. Flight.

Advance Praise

“Beth Kephart writes about mother-loss in a way that is wholly unique—there is grief here, yes, but there is also growth, surprise, comfort, and faith. The birds that appear after the death of Kephart’s mother serve to indicate, almost viscerally, a reality blessedly larger than we can imagine. Nests. Flight. Sky. is a book you will want to share with a friend, to discuss, to return to for solace.”

—Laura Fraser, Shebooks editorial director
