Following the success of the series Real Birds Sing: Heartbeats, this full-length novel takes readers deeper into the intertwined lives of Lea McIntyre and Jacob Bailey.
Lea McIntyre has always been comfortable living in the shadows, shaping the stories of others as a ghostwriter. She never imagined that her latest commission would alter the course of her own life. When she is hired to write the memoir of acclaimed musician Jacob Bailey, what begins as a professional project quickly turns into something far more personal.
Jacob is magnetic yet haunted, a man whose music carries echoes of loss and survival. In him, Lea recognizes fragments of her own buried past-the weight of memories, the wounds she tried to forget, and the courage she thought she had lost. Through late-night conversations, shared memories, and the unfolding of his story, she is confronted with truths she had kept hidden and choices she can no longer avoid.
As their bond deepens, what starts on the page transforms into a journey that challenges them both. Together, they navigate memory, grief, and the risk of love, discovering that healing often comes when least expected.
Tender, lyrical, and emotionally charged, Real Birds Sing is about reclaiming one's voice, facing the ghosts of yesterday, and learning that sometimes the most powerful stories are the ones we dare to live.
