The Gull Thay Called My Name: A Whisper of the Shore
The Gull That Called My Name
A Whisper of the Shore
By Phil Mullis
When seventy-five-year-old Henry Finch leaves the noise and pressure of Washington D.C. for the quiet coast of St. Augustine, he expects peace-
but not purpose.
Not joy.
And certainly not a talking gull.
Still grieving the loss of his wife and unsure why he came south at all, Henry finds himself face-to-face with a persistent seagull who seems determined to nudge him back into the world. The bird-Beauregard, or "Beau" as Henry comes to know him-doesn't speak out loud, but Henry hears him just the same: a soft Southern twang offering humor, history, and unexpected wisdom.
From morning walks along the Intracoastal to a humble gift of marsh grass, from storms weathered side-by-side to the rediscovery of friendships, chess, and art... Henry begins to heal in ways he didn't know were possible.
This is the gentle story of how a quiet man, a persistent gull, and the beauty of St. Augustine work together to lift a tired heart.
A story of humor, memory, hope, and the small miracles that appear when we finally slow down enough to listen.
Warm, uplifting, and deeply human -
a reminder that healing can arrive in the simplest of forms,
even on a wing.
