Product Description
Jimmy Trenton never imagined in his wildest dreams that his high school chum's step mom would become his best friend-and much more. It was 1958 in the quiet little community of Lakewood, Maryland. Certain things weren't supposed to happen there-but they did. Now Jimmy and his new best friend Carol must struggle with a secret and the reality of their relationship in a time when rules were much stricter than they are now. They must put it back the way it was before things went astray, but can they? It's 1958 in sleepy little Lakewood, Maryland where respectability is so important.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jimmy and Carol are stuck in a conflict of love and respect, June 8, 2008

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

The stepmother of one's best friend in high school - there doesn't seem to much potential for romance. "Every Day a Bird Learns How to Fly" is a classic love story about Jimmy and Carol, only Jimmy is fresh out of high school and Carol is older and the mother of his friend. For 1958 in a small community in the state of Maryland, it's not the most kosher thing socially. Jimmy and Carol are stuck in a conflict of love and respect, and have no idea which will win out. "Every Day a Bird Learns How to Fly" is a fine addition to any romance shelf and for anyone who wants a controversial love story.
