An enchanting story told in three narratives – from a girl, a swallow and a young man – about love, family and the determination to follow your calling
‘Excellent’ The Times
As Olly waits to hear from her brother, Matt, she watches the swallows preparing to leave for winter. Hero the swallow is about to embark on his long journey to Africa, not knowing the terrible dangers he will face on the way.
And when Matt meets the children in the African orphanage – sick, injured and lonely – he knows he’s made the right decision, but he never could have dreamed of what might happen to him there …
