The poem that Frannie is reading in school is all about hope. But Frannie hasn’t thought much about hope lately. After all, there are so many other things to think about. Her friend Samantha, for example, who seems to get more “holy” each day. And Trevor, the class bully. And the new kid, Jesus boy, who looks white even though he says he’s not. Who is he?
As winter goes on, bringing with it surprises both good and bad, the idea of hope stays with Frannie, and she begins to see things in a new light. She starts to understand her brother’s deafness, her mother’s fear, Samantha’s faith, Trevor’s anger, and-most importantly-her own desire for “the thing with feathers.”
