Nominee: 14th Annual Writer's Digest International Self-Published Book Awards. What the judges said: "I especially enjoyed Bird in Tree for its sense of uniqueness and originality. The characters are very originaly, and the plot comes across as both fresh and intriguing."
About Bird in Tree:
Valerie Mastropietro is 19, going on 20. Fresh from rehab, she’s just glad to have escaped her adolescence with her sanity, if not her dignity, intact. Now she is pretty sure she will be okay—that no one ever again will make her do things she does not want to do.
But enter Cornelius Prince, a clairvoyant classical and jazz pianist, whose life has been all about trying to avoid meeting her. When they fall in love, and get married, the looming question in both their lives is whether or not what he foresaw is powerful enough to destroy or save.
Bird in Tree is a story of love and a treatise on faith and fate—featuring an albino cockatiel with a classical bias, a singer so beautiful she cannot be photographed, thirty-year-old starlight rushing through space, and childhoods of anticipation and remorse.
