Burned-out and unsure of her next step, she accepts the temporary position as caregiver to Marion Henderson, a frightened five-year-old who suffers from juvenile diabetes. <P>But Ella soon realizes there is more sorrow in the isolated home than the little girl's illness. Harris Henderson, a single father, is withdrawn, seemingly better able to deal with wild birds he rehabilitates in his birds-of-prey sanctuary than with his own daughter. <P>Then something magical begins to happen: the timeless beauty of the South Carolina coast and the majestic grace of the wild birds weave a healing spell on the injured hearts at the sanctuary. But a troubled mother's unexpected return will test the fragile bonds of trust and new love, and reveal the inherent risks and exhilarating beauty of flying free. 260269 2003 Skyward total:131|5:28|4:53|3:41|2:9|1:0| 131 493 192 19 4 1 false false Tue Nov 18 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 22 06:12:23 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 22 06:13:05 -0800 2008 1
