A review by emilyrdean
Birds of Paradise by Diana Abu-Jaber

4.0

A young girl's guilt of betraying a friendship drives her to run away from her loving family. The story is set in Miami and follows each of the four family members--mom, dad, daughter and son--as they deal with the pain of the runaway daughter, not knowing the impetus for her flight. It is a story of love and forgiveness and proves once again you can always go home.
