Book Description
"Wings: The Journey Home" is a descriptive entertaining story with complex themes, relatable characters, and universal conflicts. Think "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" by Jeff Kinney, except the kid is actually a bald eagle living with chickens. It was inspired by folklore and Richard Bach's "Jonathan Livingston Seagull." Top 10 Amazon Best Seller! "This could well become a classic along the lines of "The Little Prince." I agree with the reviewer who found the writing cinematic - "Wings" definitely has potential as a story for the screen." Moira Shepard

Daydreams of Angels

Author: Heather O'Neill
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 0374711224
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 264

Book Description
Inventive, outlandish, and tender fairy tales from a bestselling author The fantastic has always been at the edges of Heather O'Neill's work. In her bestselling novels Lullabies for Little Criminals and The Girl Who Was Saturday Night, she transformed the shabbiest streets of Montreal with her beautiful, freewheeling metaphors. She described the smallest of things—a stray cat or a second-hand coat—with an intensity that made them otherworldly. In Daydreams of Angels, O'Neill's first collection of short stories, she gives free reign to her imaginative gifts. In "The Ugly Ducklings," generations of Nureyev clones live out their lives in a grand Soviet experiment. In "Dear Piglet," a teenaged cult follower writes a letter to explain the motivation behind her crime. And in another tale, a grandmother reveals where babies come from: the beach, where young mothers-to-be hunt for infants in the surf. Each of these beguiling stories twists the beloved narratives of childhood—fairy tales, storybooks, Bible stories—to uncover the deepest truths of family life.
