So she''s a little hungover sometimes on her shifts, and has to bring her daughter Emaleen to work while she waits tables, but it''s a tough town to be a single mother and Emaleen never goes hungry. Maybe the shine is starting to wear off life at Wolverine Lodge. Maybe Birdie''s ready for a fresh start. And then Birdie meets Arthur, who is quieter than most men, but makes her want to listen; who is gentle with Emaleen, and understands Birdie''s fascination with the mountains in whose shadow they live. When Arthur asks Birdie and Emaleen to leave the lodge and make a home, just the three of them, in his cabin a plane ride away, Birdie''s answer, in a heartbeat, is yes.

Here she, and Emaleen, will learn the whole, fearful truth about Arthur.
