Do birds sing for joy, or do they have something to say? Artist Miranda Jones, doing research for a commissioned painting, is delighted by their songs but increasingly intrigued to understand what they seem to be saying. She's excited to learn more both when she hikes with an expert and when she kayaks on the Columbia River in Oregon. Yet imagine her surprise when she hears what she thinks is a bird call but turns out to be a woman screaming! Can Miranda help without putting herself in danger? Or have the avians fooled her . . . When Birds Sing? Though the book stands alone, it also is a midquel for Book 3 of the Milford-Haven Novels, the critically acclaimed, best-selling series, a multi-generational saga. Based on Purl's BBC Radio drama Milford-Haven U.S.A.
