The Birdwatchers

By Virginia Carol Scharschmidt

"Whoever thought leaving the big city for small town bliss was crazy," India Sanders curses her sister as she trudges through the forest on her morning walk. For once she ignores the birds trilling and calling through the trees and the purplish pink sunrise rising through the mist over the lake. India has been divorced for years, badly scarred by a tumultuous marriage and burned out from an overly-successful legal practice in the city. Her sister Margot is adjusting to recent widowhood, and the strain her husband's death has put on her budget. Fleeing the city and sharing costs in an adorable bungalow in the tourist town where the girls summered seems ideal, but town gossip suggests otherwise. When Hal Conklin moves to town, news of the bachelor travels quickly through tiny Parker Michigan. As things between India and Hal heat up, India is forced to examine the roots of a depression that hijacks her motions threatens to destroy the relationship. And in a small town it's hard to disappear, and harder to bury hurtful secrets in the sand. Because everyone's watching.
