Migration: A Memoir of Moving On

“Migration is my favorite kind of love story, the kind that makes you dog-ear pages and call old friends and stumble outside with eyes newly tuned to the fluttering world."—Erica Berry, author of Wolfish A stunning debut memoir examining the end of a marriage and the path to self-discovery—and the wisdom of birds that guides the way. After the heartbreaking and surprisingly swift end of her marriage, Elizabeth Grey surveys the remnants of a life no longer hers and wonders, “Which self goes on living after it ends? And who is she anyway, when she is not a part of us?” Stunned and unmoored, she begins to disentangle her life from what she once called home. From the Oregon coast awash in sea spray to the blufftop meadows in rural Wisconsin, Grey embarks on a migratory journey to rediscover the boundaries of herself. Leaning on the wisdom of birds, she searches for a place to call her own and learns to let the beauty of a former life live on without remaining tethered to the past.
