Bird, Horse, and Muffin

Ten-year-old Iris Somerset encounters a living God when her mother dies unexpectedly. She and her two brothers face a troubling future. Their father's instability undermines the family, yet God is there.
Her budding faith carries her through frightful uncertainty, until a reckless choice one fine summer day changes everything. As her world unravels, Iris and her older brother travel to post-Amin Uganda with their uncle who runs an orphanage. In a land of despondency, Iris' heart begins to mend as she confronts her worst fears and experiences the wonder of God through the eyes of war orphans.
