Her teenage son, Yeats, is just beginning high school. Yeats has always struggled against the system, against the pressure to conform. He is a poet at heart: acutely sensitive, highly intelligent, and solitary by nature. Lynn and Yeats have always been close, but after fourteen years as a stay-at-home mom Lynn is going back to work for her husband, Ben, who has just opened his own bookstore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Lynn and Yeats take a trip to Vancouver Island, they discover a mutual love of bird watching. Lynn is the only other person Yeats has found who loves nature and watching birds. Plus, she has a car. Lynn describes in wondrous detail the many trips she and Yeats take, from the Wye Marsh and Pelee Island in Ontario, to Vancouver Island in British Columbia, to an ill-fated trip to the Galapagos Islands. The two grow closer with each bird-watching expedition. At the same time, Lynn notices that her son is beginning to pull away — and she must learn to let go.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBirding with Yeats\u003c\/em\u003e is a delicate, sensitive, and gentle reflection on the unique bond between a mother and son, and the magic that is the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lynn Thomson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48284287336699,"sku":"9781770893894","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781770893894.jpg?v=1772486290","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/birding-with-yeats-9781770893894","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
