Feathered Lessons is a story about what happens when the life you built turns out to be a waiting room for the life you actually need. It is about a man who spent decades perfecting the art of being alone, and the loud, demanding, impossible bird who forced him to let the world back in. Tender, laugh-out-loud funny, and full of heart, this is a story about grief and connection and the strange, wonderful ways we find our way home. It is a reminder that sometimes the family you need doesn't look like the one you imagined. Sometimes it has feathers.
