Death arrived at the pond, standing on one leg. The town formed a committee.
The bullfrogs of Walden saw it first: a great white heron, silent as a held breath, wading into the shallows of their pond as if it owned the reflection. The frogs knew what it was. The humans, as usual, needed meetings.
In this heartwarming small-town novel, the retirement community of Walden Reach discovers that nothing reorganizes a neighborhood like a beautiful predator. Mara has a new hip, an old marriage she's finished apologizing for, and a habit of noticing things other people talk over. Evan has a camera, a complicated history, and a talent for showing up. Between them stands a bird that never says a word - and an entire town that won't stop talking.
Narrated in part by the pond's unimpressed bullfrog chorus, The White Heron of Walden is a funny, tender second-chance romance about love after sixty, small-town life, and the wild things that move in without asking. Perfect for book clubs.
The sequel to The Bullfrogs of Walden - and the frogs would like you to know they were here first.
