Tobiath and the Birdy

Book Cover & Preview Text
They both spent the night riding out the storm; the rain down-pouring by the minute. The lightening cutting fiercely through the sky, and the thunder rumbling so loudly it shook the earth. As they each lay low under their cover, they spent the night pondering their friendship and all the things they offered each other. The good, the bad, the strengths, and the weaknesses each of them have. No doubt they both cared greatly for each other, but just how could they be friends again and respect each other’s differences? Perhaps it was the blow to Tobiath’s head he experienced as he as fell down earlier that evening, but he finally began to look deep within himself that night. He realized that maybe Birdy was right about a few of the things she had been trying to teach him, and decided that he needed to make some changes.
