A light beige speech bubble with the text 'Things I Think About' on a gray background. Smaller text around the bubble reads 'And that you might think about too'.

Enormous Wings

A beautiful story of life and choice and pregnancy and loss. Loved the characters and the dilemmas they are faced with. “At seventy-seven, Pepper Mills is too old to be a stranger in a strange land. She didn’t choose the Vista View Retirement Community of Austin, Texas―that would be her three grown children―but when she grudgingly moves in, she not only makes new friends, she falls in love. Then the exhaustion, vomiting, and confusion start. She fears it’s cancer, dementia, a stroke. But a raft of tests later, the news is even more shocking: She’s pregnant.”
