Meanwhile, the nature preserve Laurel works at is being considered for the site of a new school complex. Her activism makes her a persona non grata to many residents of the area who think the project will bring jobs and revitalize the area. But, she wonders what her Gran would do and realizes she'd fight for the preserve.
the only good thing coming out of all this is that her former enemy, Risa, is now becoming more than a friend.
This is the second 'bird' book this summer, after The Meaning of Birds. I wonder whether this is becoming a trend.
The Confusion of Laurel Graham is a nice read. (
