Yellow-billed Magpie by Nancy Schoellkopf Review & Giveaway

Book Description for Yellow-billed Magpie:

Unlike their black-billed cousins, yellow-billed magpies are rarely found outside California’s central valley. So when they begin showing up in Samantha O’Malley’s dreams, she wonders: are they calling me home?

Disappointed by failed fertility treatments and the break-up of her marriage, Samantha returns to her home town and slips into old habits, resuming her teaching career, even hooking up with an old lover. But she also renews her friendship with Craig, the school custodian she honors as her spiritual guide. The work they do together with Samantha’s special education students will lead her to discoveries she never thought possible.

Yellow-Billed Magpie is a love story, a spiritual journey, a quest to look beyond appearances to the mystical rhythms that guide the human heart.

My Review:

This book had a really nice ending. I was happy with how the main characters ended up, however I do want a sequel. The birds were also a nice tie-in at the end of the story. Infertility is something that a lot of women go through. It is not easy and there are a lot of reasons, some are unknown. This author not only spread awareness for how women feel, but also had a happy ending for Samantha. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
