65 years ago, in the southwest suburbs of Pittsburgh, an injured crow enters the lives of a young family. His influence permanently affects the author’s perceptions and attitudes. Blackie taught the author; when to perch and rest when a break is needed, when to let go of the branch to which she is clung, and to always trust her wings when it’s time to move forward.
