Wing for My Flight

If you are a fan of Peregrine Falcons - this is a MUST-read. Excellent; written by a wildlife biologist - her observations of the Falcon on Chimney Rock in Colorado. One of my favorites and a permanent resident in my library - I've read it twice, so far.

Wings For My Flight

What an amazing book! The author writes a fabulous novel filled with wonderful messages and insights. I absolutely love her writing style and the topics she writes about. I definitely recommend reading her other books because they are just as wonderful. Additionlly, I have actually met Mrs. Houle in person and she is an amazing, warm woman. (Wings for My Flight is still in print by Pruett Publishers.)

Heartwarming story about Peregrine Falcons

Heartwarming story about conservation of the majestic peregrine falcon. Witty, funny, and tragic. A great quick read.
