In Nest. Flight. Sky: On Love and Loss, One Wing at a Time,
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. Sky. is about the love that endures and the hope that
saves us. It's about the gift of feathers.
