An odyssey, a homecoming, and six winters in Vermont. A mysterious illness is the catalyst for this story about a daughter's homecoming. Part of a family saga that takes place on three continents. In picking up where OUR HOUSE IN ARUSHA (ISBN: 978-1456585440) left off, AN IRRUPTION OF OWLS views from the perspective of small-town New England the forces that shape the family's lives. The year is 2007, and the Texiers-Patrick, Sara, and nineteen-year-old Thomas-have left their home in Tanzania. They are biding their time in a New Jersey suburb, pondering their next move, when a family crisis spurs them to action. Idora Tucker, Sara's mother, is suddenly unable to live alone. Something is very wrong, and nobody on her rapidly expanding medical team can figure it out. Within weeks, Sara has moved back into her childhood bedroom, Thomas has enrolled at a school in Prague, and Patrick has become the only French safari guide in recent memory to take up residence in Randolph, Vermont. An Irruption of Owls is available in both print and ebook formats.
