Her teenage son, Yeats, is just beginning high school. Yeats has always struggled against the system, against the pressure to conform. He is a poet at heart: acutely sensitive, highly intelligent, and solitary by nature. Lynn and Yeats have always been close, but after fourteen years as a stay-at-home mom Lynn is going back to work for her husband, Ben, who has just opened his own bookstore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Lynn and Yeats take a trip to Vancouver Island, they discover a mutual love of bird watching. Lynn is the only other person Yeats has found who loves nature and watching birds. Plus, she has a car. Lynn describes in wondrous detail the many trips she and Yeats take, from the Wye Marsh and Pelee Island in Ontario, to Vancouver Island in British Columbia, to an ill-fated trip to the Galapagos Islands. The two grow closer with each bird-watching expedition. At the same time, Lynn notices that her son is beginning to pull away -- and she must learn to let go.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBirding with Yeats\u003c\/em\u003e is a delicate, sensitive, and gentle reflection on the unique bond between a mother and son, and the magic that is the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLynn Thomson\u003c\/b\u003e is the co-owner of Ben McNally Books in Toronto, where she lives. \u003ci\u003eBirding with Yeats\u003c\/i\u003e is her first book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 7.9 x 5.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 03, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45809098522821,"sku":"9781770893894","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/Y289KyyQKY9781770893894_56f0a133-3a8c-4d5b-8e07-fdff664be2dc.webp?v=1770938512","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/birding-with-yeats-a-mothers-memoir-paperback-1","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
