Flyaway

<p>Suzie Gilbert discovered her true calling when she began working at a local animal hospital. Eventually she started bringing abused and unwanted parrots home and volunteering at a local raptor rehabilitation center. From there it was a short flight to her ultimate commitment: Flyaway Inc. the nonprofit wild bird rehabilitation center she ran out of her own home. </p><p>With heart and delightful wit Gilbert chronicles daily life in her household-cum-bird-hospital and recounts the resulting chaos as she her husband and their two young children struggled to live in a home where parrots shrieked Motown songs and recuperating herons took over the spare bathroom. <em>Flyaway</em> is a remarkable story of compassion for and dedication to beautiful creatures--and the importance of pursuing even the most unlikely of dreams.</p>
