A 2015 William C. Morris YA Debut Award FinalistMagical realism, lyrical prose, and the pain and passion of human love haunt this hypnotic generational saga. Foolish love appears to be the Roux family birthright, an ominous forecast for its most recent progeny, Ava Lavender. Ava -- in all other ways a normal girl -- is born with the wings of a bird. In a quest to understand her peculiar disposition and a growing desire to fit in with her peers, sixteen-year old Ava ventures into the wider world, ill-prepared for what she might discover and naive to the twisted motives of others. Others like the pious Nathaniel Sorrows, who mistakes Ava for an angel and whose obsession with her grows until the night of the summer solstice celebration. That night, the skies open up, rain and feathers fill the air, and Ava's quest and her family's saga build to a devastating crescendo. First-time author Leslye Walton has constructed a layered and unforgettable mythology of what it means to be born with hearts that are tragically, exquisitely human.

LOVE!!!!!
I LOVE this bag so much!! I carry it everyday to work! It holds so much - purse, laptop, tablet, snacks & that’s just the inside. All of the pockets on the outside is what really sold me & they’re great! I can carry all my drinks and still have my hands free! I also get SO many compliments on it! I highly recommend!

Beautiful and Useful
My Cloudmusic tote is ready to walk out the door! Holds couple bottles of wine, plates, cutlery, plastic glasses, salt and pepper, cutting board/knife, bottle opener, cute towel, napkins, bag of essential fruit, hand wash, sanitized wipes, ummmm what else should I take. Perfect for travel. It's first trip will be a girls trip of antique shops, museum and wonderful restaurants at a darling little AB&B house.

Absolutely the best toe I've ever owned
There are plenty of pockets and even when it's full it's light weight - I don't know how it does it but I am not burdened down when I have it filled with my thing including a laptop! You now hoe family members ask "Can you put this in y our purse?" Well there are plenty of pockets - nothing will get lost in the bottom of your purse ever again.
