Bird on a Wire - by Tagan Shepard (Paperback)

About the Book

Will going back home be what Birdie needs to get her personal life back on track.

Book Synopsis

After putting in her time playing bars, festivals and opening acts for bigger names, Robin Wren "Birdie" Scott has finally become a bona fide rock star with her latest album. Multiple Grammy nominations, legions of adoring fans and a hit single topping the charts, her career is exactly where she wants it to be. Her personal life, on the other hand, could use some work.

She's always felt pulled in two. She's famous, but she craves solitude. She was born a country girl, but she's drawn to the vitality of city life. She adores her mother, but she can't forgive her for the hurtful things she said when Birdie came out. She loves her wife, Della, but her marriage is not what it once was. All of her friendships have somehow turned into business relationships. Even the rush of performing has lost its luster.

When her sold-out tour is interrupted by the unexpected death of her mother, dropping everything and driving off into the mountains back to the small hometown she hasn't visited in nearly two decades almost feels like a relief. Sorting out the conflicting emotions that come with losing her mother would be hard enough on its own. Add to that the reappearance of her childhood best friend and first love, Sara, and this trip home could be life changing in more ways than one.
