Julie is a wife, mother of 3 and advice columnist to many. When her husband takes a “sabbatical” from their life, Julie is left to care for the family. At first, she thinks that her physical problems are due to stress and depression over her husband’s leaving. But she soon realizes that she’s fighting a much bigger enemy–MS. In the months and years that follow, Julie must pull her family together, and decide each day to be there for “one more morning.”

A sweet story about Nory Ryan’s daughter, Bird. Bird must find her way as a healer, and help her family make their dreams come true as well.

At the end of Nory Ryan’s Song, I was left wishing for a sequel. Maggie’s Door takes up minutes after the first book leaves off. Nory is on her own, with only a few mouthfuls of food in her bag, walking to find her family and a boat to America. In spite of the horror that Nory and her family must endure, they stick together, and hope remains. A satisfying conclusion to Nory’s journey.
