Stuck in a laborious, yet functioning, ten-year marriage, Leila Watts meets the love of her life. That's upsetting; she thought the love of her life was supposed to be her husband.
Leila has so many reasons not to leave her husband for Corbin Green, hunky part-time professor and part-time massage therapist, wandering scholar and kindred spirit, who is magnetic yet wholly unreliable in every way.
Reason 1: her husband, Matt, is reliable and devoted.
Reason 2: he makes her laugh, sometimes.
Reason 3: two kids, a house, a farm, and shared best friends who live next door.
Reason 4: she made a promise and it's the right thing to do.
Reason 5: she is everything to Matt. It would destroy him completely.
Problem is: her stupid heart doesn't care about the reasons. As Leila and Corbin's innocent new friendship quickly turns into an intense and irreplaceable bond, Leila is haunted by everything she's responsible for--all the years, the futures, the tragedies, the children, the friendships, the mistakes, and the promises.
How do you live an honest life when every choice you make is full of regret?
The Fish and the Bird is a story about two people who are bound by a promise and all of the other lives caught up in their wake. For fans of intense literary fiction, not without some laughs, and realistic romance that reaches you all the way to your stupid, stupid heart.
