Nest. Flight. Sky. The cover reveal of my forthcoming Shebooks memoir

In Nest. Flight. Sky: On Love and Loss, One Wing at a Time
award-winning memoirist Beth Kephart returns to the form for the first
time in years to reckon with the loss of her mother and a slow-growing
but soon inescapable obsession with birds and flight. Kephart finds
herself drawn to the startle of the winter finch and the quick pulse of
hummingbirds and the hungry circling of hawks. She discovers birds in
the stories she tells and the novels she writes. She hunts for nests,
she waits for song, she learns the stories of bird artists, she waits, again. Nest. Flight. Sky. is about the love that endures and the hope that saves us. It’s about the gift of feathers. Coming shortly, from Shebooks.

This is lovely and I can't wait to read it!
As I'm reading this, I am watching the finches gather at the feeder outside my kitchen window. Oh Beth, this will be a very special memoir, I'm sure.
I cannot even imagine how hard this was to write, Beth.
I can’t wait for this…
I lost my mom last year, Beth, and found myself drawn to birds as well, especially the ones we watched when I was little, or the one we looked for and only saw once, a blue bunting. Awaiting your book....
