About the Book

"I was awake when the sun rose, floating not on a bed of cotton and coils, but a bed of ecstasy, and in that moment I knew what the poets know and what the birds of dawn know: that the rising of the sun is a majestic and cosmic gesture, beyond what the human mind can possibly comprehend. I can tell you that it is futile to try. It only gets one all tangled up. But I suppose the mind is relentless like a little dog pulling on its bone, giving a guttural growl as you try to take the bone away, needing, just needing to hang on to some conceptual understanding."

Mimi Rizner, a neurodivergent woman, finds herself a prisoner in a mental institution. She battles villainous nurses, dubious patients and a ghost that lives inside of her, all while trying to reckon with her past. Her memories grow loud as several time periods play themselves out again in Mimi's mind.

Growing up on the road, going from one rock concert or campsite to the next, Mimi struggles to assimilate when her family finally settles in San Francisco so she can attend high school. Other than her crush, Jared, her little brother Ethan, and her love of painting, Mimi is dejected by a world that she just doesn't get.

Mimi never would have thought that she would end up living with Donny, her forklift-driving man, in Richmond Virginia. But somehow, there she was. It's a warm bed. And company. And that's about it. Things escalate to a breaking point and a regrettable act leads to Mimi's detainment.

The Sound of Birds gives voice to those who struggle to conform to society because of the unconventional way they experience the world. Mimi's story, though extreme, highlights the narrow path we are asked to walk and the need for space, instead of harsh guardrails, for those who navigate differently. Mimi's release from the hospital hangs in the balance, but there are unseen resolutions playing themselves out as well.
