Born with bird wings, Ava Lavender is well aware that love has long made fools of her family. When pious Nathaniel Sorrows mistakes her bird wings for angel wings, 16-year-old Ava faces the man's growing obsession, which comes to a head with the rain and feathers that fly through the air during a nighttime summer solstice celebration.

Heartbreaking submitted by kzheng on June 18, 2018, 10:57am This is such a beautiful story. It kind of reminded me of Maximum Rider in a way. It is painful how humans treat those who are different so cruelly. We fear what we don't understand.
