Ellie's Crows

By: MaryAnn Myers

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Ellie is a young woman, not so unlike any other young woman in today's world. She's in love, perhaps with the wrong man. She's self-supporting, if always being a week behind counts. She's kind and considerate, unless crossed. She's true to herself and others. She is the best of best friends, is attentive to her grandmother, and she loves horses. What is different about Ellie is the fact that she is followed through life by a flock of crows. Ellie's Crows depicts the last few weeks of her Grandma Betty's life in a nursing home; a very clean, antiseptic facility, with very little love to go around. Ellie is the sunshine of her days, and as death grows near, her companion throughout her long nights. Ellie's Crows is a celebration of life, and all it encompasses; laughter, tears, fear, triumph...and the realization that perhaps, just perhaps, happiness lies within.
