The sequel to Little Bird Flies sees Bridie settling into life in America, before a new crisis sends her and her family out West, to the prairies and a life of opportunity and risk. . .
As I retell the cheerfully foolish story, I take a deep breath and will the whispers away. For I am Little Bird, and what else can I do but fly towards the future and leave the past I cannot change? And the future starts tonight, somewhere in that fiery, golden glow of New York.

Om bidragsyterne

Karen McCombie was born in Aberdeen, Scotland, where the view from her bedroom was of the steely North Sea, dotted with oil rigs. But memories of childhood holidays spent in the heather-covered Highlands are what's lodged in her DNA and these helped inform Little Bird. Karen now lives in London with her very Scottish husband Tom, English daughter Milly (who's been taught to say "loch" in the correct way) and a Scottish Wildcat (near enough).
