Anastasia Portman, cousin to Jacob Portman, has lived in the same quaint village since she was born. One day not long after her sixteenth birthday a seemingly urgent letter popped through her letter box leading her to the humble Welsh island of Cairnholm. The parting letter from her Grandfather had given her merely one instruction; Find the bird. So that's what the determined teenager decided to do. Leaving her widowed Mother behind her in the small English village they call home, she retraces her Grandfather's footsteps to locate a place she has only ever imagined.
