Comfrey, Wyoming: Birds of a Feather by Birkmyer, Daphne NEUF officiel

Against a backdrop of high prairie winds and soaring, snow-capped peaks, an uneasy friendship makes its final appeal when the words Aunt Heidi and a phone number are found written on the arm of a five-year-old Arapaho child.

When Heidi Vogel arrives in New York to open a restaurant, the ambitious young German-born chef could never imagine that six years later, she would be managing a soup kitchen in Wyoming and sharing her home with an abandoned dog and a secretive young woman named Nara Crow.

The birth of Naras identical twins soothes the ache officiel Heidi has felt since the death of her own baby, but sends Nara back into a depression that has haunted her for years. When Nara disappears with the children and Heidis exhaustive search reveals no leads, Heidi is forced to consider a painful truth-Nara may not want to be found-and the life she thought they were building together was nothing but a charade.

Just as Heidi decides it is time to move on, an unexpected phone call thrusts her into the ignorant world that confronts a transgender child.
