My thoughts on free as a bird by Missy Tarantino:
Free as a Bird by Missy Tarantino is a heart-wrenching look at a child caught in the throw-away society of today. We may think of it as disposable appliances, food, and other material things, but somewhere along the way, children became “disposable,” too.
Missy’s book tells the tale of Destiny, who gets lost in the foster care system and simply wants to disappear. Her notepad, pencil, and hoodie become the only source of security she has.
We follow Destiny on her journey through loving and losing so many people in her life. Until the day, she meets the owners of a local raptor refuge. Can she learn from the perseverance and resilience of these mighty birds? Please read on to discover her fantastic journey.
The author delves into the dynamics of family, the children’s welfare system, and society as a whole. Some parts of this book broke my heart, reducing me to tears. Other chapters restored my faith, and my heart soared with Destiny as she became “free as a bird.”
Free as a Bird by Missy Tarantino is a quick, touching book to read. It’s also available on Kindle Unlimited if that’s an option for you. No matter how you acquire this story, please do read it. It deserves a large, enthusiastic audience.
