She won't share the fish, but does share something else: a secret.\u003cbr\u003e She's discovered a rare endangered bird, an Osprey, and it's clear to both her and Callum that if anyone finds out about the bird, it, and its species, is likely doomed. Poachers, egg thieves, and wild weather are just some of the threats, so Iona and Callum vow to keep track of the bird and check her migratory progress using the code a preservationist tagged on her ankle, no matter what.\u003cbr\u003e But when one of them can no longer keep the promise, it's up to the other to do it for them both. No matter what. Set against the dramatic landscapes of Scotland and West Africa, this is a story of unlikely friendships, the wonders of the wild--and the everyday leaps of faith that set our souls to flight.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGill Lewis is the author of \u003ci\u003eWild Wings \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eOne White Dolphin\u003c\/i\u003e.
