When fourteen-year-old Phoenix learns of her parent, Eagle’s cancer diagnosis, her shoulder blades start to itch & Phoenix’s world collapses. Every hall she runs down, every room she hides in, she feels herself changing, growing wings while Eagle may be dying. If she is to rise from the ashes of this uncertain world– one of surgery and medicine, classes and teachers–Phoenix must learn to feel everything, and become the bird she always imagined.
