When a rare and highly endangered bird flies into Lucy’s bedroom window, she feels it’s a sign. 


Of what, she’s not exactly sure, but maybe it means she’ll get her life back on track after the sudden death of her brother a year ago. 

Maybe she’ll find some meaning in the randomness of existence and work out her place in it all. 

Maybe she’ll find a way to stop the wild stunts she’s been pulling with Jacinta just to keep her thoughts from spiralling for a few moments. 

She takes the injured bird to a local wildlife sanctuary, and there she meets Ben. He’s cute, a tiny bit flirty, and he cares as much about the bird’s survival as Lucy does. He could be the distraction she needs. 


But when unrelated events collide, Lucy realises things are not going to be that simple. 


Miranda Luby’s second novel is a heartfelt portrayal of grief, a tender romance, and a tribute to a very special Australian bird. A celebration of life in all its randomness and wonder.
