Liv Ferrar is 67 years old and has lived a full life. Her twin daughters, Mary and Rose, are grown, she has survived breast cancer and, in opening her home to strangers over forty years ago, she inadvertently founded the Birdeye Colony which was once a pilgrimage-worthy commune on the hippy trail in upstate New York. The community is now well past its heyday but Liv still holds to its founding principles of a weekly Sharing along with her friends and co-founders Mishti and Sonny, and Rose, whose additional needs mean she has remained dependent on her mother.
Then one late winter’s morning a stranger named Conor appears and that same night Sonny and Mishti make the devastating announcement that they are leaving. When Liv’s oldest daughter flies in from London to persuade Liv and Rose to move back to England with her, Liv resists what others see as the inevitable collapse of Birdeye. Conor seems to offer a life-line to Liv, but who is he really and what are his motives? As the cracks in this once-haven begin to show, long buried secrets are brought to the surface and Liv is forced to reassess the foundations on which she has built her life.”
