They find her on the edge of the roof of her school. No on believes that she wasn't about to jump. But then again, no one knows Sparrow very well. She keeps good grades. She keeps to herself. Though she wishes she could find a friend, she has no idea how that might happen. So sometimes she goes where the birds gather, and she waits, waits for them to come get her, gather her up, take her with them, take her high above the school, above the city, above the crowds. For those few moments she's not alone, closed in. But Sparrow begins to discover something else inside her -- a music, a song that grows in power, if only she can let it be a bridge.
