A birding conference brings Abby back to Cornell University in upstate New York, where she reminisces with old friends and rediscovers all that she gave up to move home to Sparrow Island. Will she, as her colleagues hope, be tempted to return? Meanwhile, a student disappears, and Abby starts out on a search that leads to a cryptic note, a mysterious stranger and a prodigal son. Back on Sparrow Island, Mary is thrust into the role of caregiver when George Stanton lands in the hospital. His recovery stirs up some long-buried memories that concern them all. With Abby so far away during this difficult time, can the family pull together and stay close? Or will they be torn apart by echoes of the past? Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I always like to try to figure out where the title came from or how it ties in to the book. This book has several characters with reflections into their pasts.
George--a WWII vet--whose nightmares were previously only known to his wife--when he suffers an injury that lands him in the hospital, others notice his restless sleep. Once he's home, they encourage him to talk about what turns out to be Operation Tiger.
Abby--returns to her former employer, Cornell University, to attend a seminar. Will she be tempted to return by the prestige or because she misses her former colleagues and work?
Mary--her father's injury brings back memories of her own injury and rehabilitation
Brian is returning home as a sort of prodigal son. He became a bit of a partier in college and almost failed out. Then, he ran off. But now, he is returning home and hoping to resume his college career.
I am a bit sad to leave Sparrow Island again--at least for a time as I have no more books from the series currently. (
