This is the story of one woman who helped in the miraculous restoration of the bald eagle to skies of New England after their near extinction from loss of habitat and the use of DDT. Dianne Davis spent the summer of 1985 alone in the wilderness area of the Quabbin Reservoir raising eight baby eagles. The beauty of the wilderness, the labor (and drama) of heading out each day on this massive lake to catch the twenty pounds or more of fish to feed the hungry babies, the sounds of the forest, the joys and fears of living alone, and the stunning shock of the breakup of her marriage, are all brought to life through her letters home.
