Bird Song

A Cozy Later-in-Life Second Chance Romance

By: Jen Murray

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Carly has spent her life taking care of everyone else.

After years of raising her siblings and caring for her mother through dementia, she finds herself alone in the quiet house she never left. With no one left to need her, Carly pours her energy into feeding the birds and tending to the small creatures that visit her backyard.

Then her niece convinces her to try something new: a Saturday bird walk at the Highfield Nature Preserve.

That’s where she meets Sal.

Sal is warm, funny, and surrounded by the kind of noisy family Carly has never known. As the two begin walking the trails together, a friendship slowly grows into something deeper—until a charming wildlife centre volunteer and a misunderstanding threaten to pull them apart.

But sometimes love is less about grand gestures and more about recognizing the quiet person who has been beside you all along.

Bird Song is a warm, uplifting novelette about second chances, unexpected love, and finding your place at the table.

Perfect for readers who enjoy cozy later-life romances filled with heart, humour, and hope.
