Prairie Ostrich

Bookish, eight-year-old Egg Murakami lives on her family’s ostrich farm in rural, southern Alberta. It is the end of the summer, 1974. Since her brother’s death, her Mama curls inside a whiskey bottle and her Papa shuts himself in the barn. Big sister Kathy — in love with her best friend, Stacey — reinvents the bedtime stories she reads to Egg so that they end in a happily ever after.

Confronted by bullies and the perplexing quirks of the adults around her, Egg watches, a quiet witness to her unraveling family as she trys to find her place in a bewildering world.

The sisters increasingly depend on one another for protection and support but the girls’ relationship is threatened when Kathy’s stories clash with the realities of their small town of Bittercreek­. How can Egg trust someone who has lied to her about everything?
