Captured in the wild, caged and sold to an unsuspecting family, a young parrot adjusts to his new world, his new life, with the help of a young girl. Delia names her companion in the sick room: Captain Jack. She spins him stories of great adventures on the high seas. She gives him the gift of language.
Theirs is a love story, not a romance. A unique perspective on life–and an extraordinary friendship–as observed through the keen eye of a narrator, who has heard it said time and time again, "Parrots live a hundred years or more."
5-stars: "A heartfelt story of love that grows over a lifetime. Even the wounded can experience a love that lasts a lifetime and beyond, and brings joy to those who give and receive it. I love the window into the lives that are touched by a heart connection that transcends species and time.
I love rereading this story, rare praise from me."
