After eleven years caring for the curious, graceful birds, Tallulah accepts a job in Montana and prepares to leave home. But when Grandma Helen dies under strange circumstances, Tallulah inherits everything--just days before the birds inexplicably stop laying eggs. Guarding the secret of the suddenly barren birds, Tallulah endeavors to force through a sale of the ranch, a task that is complicated by the arrival of her extended family. Their designs on the property, and deeply rooted dysfunction, threaten Tallulah's ambitions and eventually her life. With no options left, Tallulah must pull her head out of the sand and face the fifty-year legacy of a family in turmoil: the reality of her grandmother's death, her mother's alcoholism, her uncle's covetous anger, and the 142 ostriches whose lives are in her hands"-- 650 0 $a Dysfunctional Families $v Fiction 650 0 $a Ostriches $v Fiction 651 0 $z Mojave Desert--Fiction 655 0 $a Domestic Fiction 941 $a 8 945 $a lpt 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012030611.0 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331014105.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20210907010025.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20210504014400.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210302012005.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20210302010446.0 952 $l ZXPC675 $d 20210223010214.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210202014958.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D889AEEA62C811EBBBC4168156ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
