Bird by Courtney Collins
Bird is a gripping tale of a young girl's quest for freedom and self-discovery. On the brink of her fourteenth birthday, Bird escapes her home to avoid an arranged marriage, seeking refuge among a group of pilgrims. Unbeknownst to her, danger lurks nearby, and her journey becomes one of survival and resilience. In the present day, Bird awakens in a hospital, piecing together the events that led her there. Haunted by memories of a threatening figure, a stolen car, and a bullet wound, she grapples with her instinct to flee even when kindness is offered. As she slowly recalls her past, Bird's story unfolds as a testament to hope, the strength of human connection, and the courage to live life on one's own terms.
