The skeletons in the closet have nothing on the one in your
backyard. Freshly divorced and grieving the death of her father,
Josie Lauer has caged herself inside her home. To cope with her
losses, Josie follows a strict daily routine of work, playing with
her dog, Po, and trying to remember to eat a decent meal--and
ending each night by drinking copious amounts of vodka. In other
words, she is not coping at all. Everything changes when Josie
wakes to find a small shrub has sprouted in her otherwise dirt
backyard the morning after yet another bender. Within hours, the
vine-like plant is running amok--and it's brought company. The
appearance of the unwieldly growth has also heralded the arrival of
a busybody new neighbor who insists on thrusting herself into
Josie's life. The neighbor Josie can deal with. The talking
skeleton called Skelly that has perched itself in Josie's backyard
on a throne made of vines, however, is an entirely different
matter. As the strangely sentient plant continues to grow and twist
its tendrils inside Josie's suddenly complicated life, Josie begins
to realize her new neighbor knows a lot more about the vines and
her bizarre new visitor than she initially lets on. There's a
reason Skelly has chosen to appear in Josie's suddenly-blooming
backyard and insists on pulling her out of her carefully kept
self-isolation. All Josie has to do is figure out what that reason
is--and she has only a few days to do it, or else she might find
herself on the wrong side of catastrophe. LITTLE BIRD is a story
about found family, no matter how bizarre.
