A teenage girl, a feather, and a magical secret ...
The last thing seventeen-year-old Feather wants to do with her vacation is go on a ridiculous spirit quest. What’s relaxing about fasting and sweating for a week in the forest while hiking with an old medicine man?
But then she finds a hawk feather and meets a strange young man. While she should be meditating, Feather can’t stop daydreaming about his lips. He’s cute with lean muscle and unforgettable eyes. Things start looking up ...
... until a hunter in the forest considers her prey and she is running for her life. To survive, she must discover the magical secrets of her heritage and find the inner strength to fight back.
Leaving the house to go to school, I had schoolbooks spilling out of one hand, the other holding my place in a Nancy Drew novel, and bunny slippers still on my feet. My mom was a wee bit upset.
I haven't changed much. Still always have a book (or two) in my hand or creating stories in my head, and although I don't have any bunny slippers, I love writing in my jammies and snuggly slipper socks.
With my husband TJ (my own cuddly werewolf), I home-school our three girls, who keep us busy with art, science projects, books to read, dance classes, and walks about the park.
Feather by Rita Webb is a thrilling and sweet short story. It recognizes the importance of understanding the past in order to live in our future. Loved it and Love the cover.
