Uncle Tallulah

A sly, saddened old bird
With love comes grief. With grief comes growth for Rob Malone.
It happens after his beloved Anna drowns while feeding the swans on
the lake near their potato farm. Ardently, he keeps her alive in spirit
wearing stylish hats.
Equally poignant is Rob's compassion for one of the swans, Uncle
Tallulah, when he suffers a broken left wing and has it woefully
dragging down beside him, feathers fraying.
Rob must choose between a mercy killing or having the wing surgically
removed. This novel becomes an honest-to-god tearjerker while Rob
agonizes over what life would be like for a swan with one wing.
The farmer and the swan get safely beyond that on a journey of mutual
survival. En route, the sly and saddened Uncle Tallulah will steal your
heart away. You'll never forget him. You'll surely want to say a prayer
for him when hope arises that he'll fly over the lake once again.
