Publisher's Summary

May Johnson used to be an ordinary wife and mother. Now, she’s a middle-aged widow grieving the loss of her only daughter - and the wrongful death settlement is only making things worse.

May’s sanity was already questionable when tensions rise with her smothering younger sister, so she sets out to find solitude down south in the marshes of Florida.

Animal encounters, unlikely friendships, sisterly squabbles, and hilarious scenarios take May on an unforgettable journey from the depths of grief to a new life. But, will she embrace it?

The Crying Bird is a contemporary women’s fiction novel, a heartfelt, humorous, and relatable story about real life.
