I know most people don't like realistic fiction, but I like this one. I don't know why. But it's about Brigette (Bird) and Thomas. Thomas comes from a poor family and his mother had died when he was young. Bird comes from a middle-class family. Her mother is a healer. Bird wants to become a healer when she grows up and Thomas wants to be a writer. However, when Bird sees a stitching done by her mother, she thinks again. In between that, Bird finds out that Thomas doesn't have a mother. But in the end, Thomas feels that Bird's family is part of his, and becomes a writer while Bird becomes a healer.
