From the critically acclaimed author of Standing Still comes a psychologically charged novel about the power and failure of family.

When Ann Biddle’s granddaughter Ellie asks for help with a school project about family history, Ann sees a rare chance to connect with the child she loves. But as the two begin piecing together the past, Ann’s carefully guarded memories start to fracture and resurface. Moving between present-day confusion and the vivid diary entries of her younger years, The Bird House reveals a family shaped by love, loss, betrayal, dementia, and secrets that have waited decades to be told.
