"Fiction at its finest."--
Christina Suzann Nelson, award-winning author of More Than We Remember and The Way It Should Be
In 1975, three thousand children were airlifted out of Saigon to be adopted into Western homes. When one of those children announces her plans to return to Vietnam to find her birth mother, her loving adopted family is suddenly thrown back to the events surrounding her unconventional arrival in their lives.
Mindy's father grapples with the tension between holding on tightly and letting his daughter spread her wings. Her mother undergoes the emotional roller coaster inherent in the adoption of a child from a war-torn country, discovering the joy hidden amid the difficulties. And Mindy and her sister struggle to find the strength to accept each other as they both discover who they truly are.
Told through three distinct voices in three compelling timelines, The Nature of Small Birds is a hopeful story that explores the meaning of family far beyond genetic code.
"A beautiful story about the intricacies of family and the power of love. Most definitely a must-read novel."-- Heidi Chiavaroli, Carol Award-winning author of Freedom's Ring and The Orchard House
"To open a book by Susie Finkbeiner is to accept an invitation to become part of a family you'll never forget."-- Jocelyn Green, Christy Award-winning author of Shadows of the White City
"Susie Finkbeiner has such an inviting and distinctive voice as a writer that you'll gladly follow it--and follow her--to any setting."-- Valerie Fraser Luesse, Christy Award-winning author of Under the Bayou Moon
