Feathers at My Feet - Paperback

by Barbara Pearson (Author)

"...perfectly captures the power of great friendship to imprint on our hearts and change the course of our lives." -- Nicola Kraus, co-author of The Nanny Diaries

When destiny introduces art teacher Barbara Pearson to regionally renowned artist, teacher, and activist, Phyllis Bosco, Barbara's ordinary life transforms into a spectacular adventure.

Over decades of friendship, the two women celebrate and commiserate whatever comes their way. They make grand entrances at art shows, smoke cigarillos at weddings, and, with a cadre of like-minded women friends, dance at every opportunity.

Eventually, propelled by failed relationships with men and enchanted by visions of a future retirement spent together, the two friends purchase a house, replete with a ghost. But soon, evolving loyalties trample promises, and the friends drift apart--until tragedy strikes. Feathers at my Feet pays tribute to an enduring friendship that adapts to face unimaginable circumstances with humor and grace.

"I couldn't put it down." -- Hannah Palmer, Author of Flight Path
