Ash and Feather is a novel in verse for upper middle grade and early young adult readers. In order to cope with the pain, fear, and confusion of her parent's cancer diagnosis, Phoenix, a fourteen-year-old girl, envisions herself and the people around her as birds. Phoenix's perspective is a poetic one: lyrical, subtle, and imbued with magic, yet her vision of her bird self is a concrete way to visualize existential questions. Through her feathery filter, we follow Phoenix as she interacts with her parent Eagle and grandparent Duck, navigates the hospital and middle school, and experiences her first queer love with best friend, Ing. She uses the power of her imagination to take flight from the ashes of her grief, gaining for the first time a sense of her own power.
