The last thing I need is to fall in love. Especially with him…
My twin sister has other plans.
She works for a hot new dating agency that’s all the buzz.
And I made a pact with her. If we were still unmarried at thirty, we’d put ourselves out there fully.
Well, the time has come. And my sister isn’t letting up.

He’s easy to forget about when I start dating Mr. Perfect. My new “sight unseen” date is the stuff dreams are made out of.

Birds carry a message for Claire that she doesn’t understand.
Eleven-year-old Claire doesn’t tell anyone of her uncanny power to attract birds. She is a devoted birder, home schooled in the woods of central Pennsylvania, who discovers she’s part of a local legend, one involving a Red-tailed Hawk. The hawk saved her as a toddler; now it’s her turn to save the hawk.
Claire and her mother Louise live in a densely forested region of North Central Pennsylvania where her mother is about to open a small rural grocery store. While drifting through the woodland with her sheepdog, Claire encounters a local Red-tailed Hawk known as Big Red and a crusty old man (with a pet chicken), who tells her amazing stories about the female hawk. Like herself, Jerry is an oddball with an affinity for birds. But as Claire develops a cautious friendship with this mysterious and erratic elder, her new friendship with Victor falters. He is best friends with her foe, Billy, a bully in the seventh grade. And Billy’s father is a drunkard obsessed with killing Big Red. Claire works to defend the raptor, whose life increasingly entwines with her own, while dodging Billy’s mean-spirited plots against her. Finally, Victor comes to Claire’s aid. And together they work to solve the strange mystery of her ability to attract birds, a mystery including the wizardly old man and a mystical hawk to whom they give the name Ku-Khain.
