Rose is a young scarlet macaw whose life begins in Costa Rica, where her parents care for her in the hollow of an old palm tree. They do their best to keep Rose safe, even if it means being strict.

Rose wants to fly and learn to be like her parents but she is stuck in a very drabby room, with only dry brown seeds to eat and a mean human who won't teach her anything. Rose is determined to be the bird she was meant to be, even if it means attempting a daring escape, eating a bug, or clucking like a chicken! This children's tale shares the true story of a young, scrappy bird as she sets out on a journey to find her way home.

When Christie Purifoy arrived at Maplehurst that September, she was heavily pregnant with both her fourth child and her dreams of creating a sanctuary that would be a fixed point in her busily spinning world. The sprawling Victorian farmhouse sitting atop a Pennsylvania hill held within its walls the possibility of a place where her family could grow, where friends could gather, and where Christie could finally grasp and hold the thing we all long for--home. In lyrical, contemplative prose, Christie slowly unveils the small trials and triumphs of that first year at Maplehurst--from summer's intense heat and autumn's glorious canopy through winter's still whispers and spring's gentle mercies. Through stories of planting and preserving, of opening the gates wide to neighbors, and of learning to speak the language of a place, Christie invites readers into the joy of small beginnings and the knowledge that the kingdom of God is with us here and now. Anyone who has felt the longing for home, who yearns to reconnect with the beauty of nature, and who values the special blessing of deep relationships with family and friends will love finding themselves in this story of earthly beauty and soaring hope.
