Hearing Birds Again

On their first morning in their Eagle Mountain home, Betsy and Lynn opened the back door to let in cool air. They heard birds. They had not heard birds for years because of where they had been living before. That small sensory detail — birdsong through an open door — captured the entire emotional arc of their five-year search. Peace had arrived.
