On the Wings of Discovery
This beautiful coming-of-age
story about two young girls on the brink of maturity is handled
gracefully with humor and compassion.
Spending the summer at a Mexican beach resort becomes a
life-changing experience for two 15-year-old best friends.
Beth’s biggest interests are learning Spanish and boys! Franny
is a tomboy looking for fun and adventure.
The
two girls begin their vacation enjoying the beach, but as the
summer progresses, they end up rescuing a paralyzed seagull, a
starving pelican, a bird with a broken wing, and other seabirds
in trouble. As the girls reach out to the creatures, they begin
to understand the beauty and frailty of life, and in the
process, they gain an understanding of who they truly are.
Beth
and Frannie begin to see the world through the eyes of another
culture and learn to appreciate that the essence of humanity is
the same in all peoples.
Love Lessons on
Bird Beach will be a life
lesson for everyone it touches.
