So we watch her journey begin as she tries to heal and do what's best by her and her family, and it's a rocky road indeed. I can't imagine the pain, heartache and guilt that a mother would feel from leaving her baby daughter to get abducted. Part I had me already knowing this was going to be a heart tugger of a read, because I was already half feeling empathy towards Ellis, but then also getting so ANGRY at what was happening.
UFF, y'all - two very emotional reads in a row but damn. We now live in the Florida countryside with as many birds, butterflies, and native flowers as we can lure to our little wildlife sanctuary.Apparently Glendy Vanderah has become a new favorite author of mine! I absolutely loved Where the Forest Meets the Stars and fell in love with her writing there and The Light Through the Leaves just seals the deal. Since we moved, raising three children and having little time for biological work has brought me back to writing. We left Illinois when he accepted a position at University of Florida. I married an ornithologist who fully understands my nature-nerdiness. I have worked as an endangered bird specialist, and also served as an assistant editor for a scientific journal. My thesis topic focused on another gorgeous blue bird, the small but magnificent Cerulean Warbler. But birds eventually won over writing, and I completed a Master of Science degree. While working as a field biologist, I studied writing, poetry, and literature for several years. During one of those classes, my first wobbly view of a vivid blue Indigo Bunting through binoculars was the moment I decided to focus on avian biology. In field biology courses, I discovered my compulsion to catch snakes and salamanders wasn’t as weird as I’d thought. Realizing a childhood dream, I left the city to major in Ecology, Ethology and Evolution at the University of Illinois in Urbana.
Reading, especially animal stories, was an equal passion that led to my love of writing.
A born naturalist trapped in a big city, I studied every creature of my parents’ tiny, wild-grown backyard. I grew up in Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of two public school teachers.
