Ten years ago, a flock of pigeons rescued an abandoned human baby and carried her to their roof. Coo has lived her entire life on the rooftop with the pigeons who saved her. It's the only home she's ever known. But when the pigeon she loves most is gravely hurt, Coo must make a perilous trip to the ground for the first time. She finds Tully, who mends Burr's broken wing and coaxes Coo from her isolated life. Living with Tully, Coo experiences warmth, safety, and human relationships for the first time. But just as Coo is beginning to blossom, she learns the human world is infinitely more complex, and cruel, than she could have imagined.
