In Tongue of a Bird by Ellen McLaughlin, Maxine is a search-and-rescue pilot who returns to her childhood home in the unforgiving Adirondack Mountains to lead the search for Charlotte, a young girl abducted by a stranger during a school field trip.

Seemingly part ghost story and part psychological mystery, Tongue of a Bird is a haunting exploration of loss, memory, motherhood, and the desperate human need to be found.

Detroit. Summer 1967.
As one of the most pivotal uprisings in American history unfolds outside their door, siblings Chelle and Lank are trying to build a future from the basement of their West Side home.
