To be perfectly honest, the day my father died really wasn't the worst day of my life.
When his beloved father, Michael, dies, Claybird Catts finds solace in the company of his close-knit family — his mysterious and beautiful mother, Myra; his lovable, know-it-all sister, Missy; his newly grown-up brother, Simon; and his devoted grandmother, Cissie. Devastated by his loss, but secure in their love, Claybird feels as though life could almost go on as usual in their small, sleepy Southern hometown.
