 <strong>Meeting ID: 823 6805 9504</strong></span></p>\n<p>New book discuss
 ion participants are always welcome.</p>\n<p>From the acclaimed author of 
 "Garden Spells" comes an enchanting tale of lost souls\, lonely strangers\
 , secrets that shape us\, and how the right flock can guide you home.&nbsp
 \;</p>\n<p>Down a narrow alley in the small coastal town of Mallow Island\
 , South Carolina\, lies a stunning cobblestone building comprised of five 
 apartments. It's called The Dellawisp and it is named after the tiny turqu
 oise birds who\, alongside its human tenants\, inhabit an air of magical s
 ecrecy.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>When Zoey Hennessey comes to claim her deceased mot
 her's apartment at The Dellawisp\, she meets her quirky\, enigmatic neighb
 ors including a girl on the run\, a grieving chef whose comfort food does 
 not comfort him\, two estranged middle-aged sisters\, and three ghosts. Ea
 ch with their own story. Each with their own longings. Each whose ending i
 sn't yet written.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>When one of her new neighbors dies under 
 odd circumstances the night Zoey arrives\, she is thrust into the mystery 
 of The Dellawisp\, which involves missing pages from a legendary writer wh
 ose work might be hidden there. She soon discovers that many unfinished st
 ories permeate the place\, and the people around her are in as much need o
 f healing from wrongs of the past as she is. To find their way they have t
 o learn how to trust each other\, confront their deepest fears\, and let g
 o of what haunts them.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Delightful and atmospheric\, "Other 
 Birds" is filled with magical realism and moments of pure love that won't 
 let you go. Sarah Addison Allen shows us that between the real and the ima
 ginary\, there are stories that take flight in the most extraordinary ways
