   Summary

   Title from Dead bird by McCafferty

   Maria Phelps left her family. She abandoned her son Travis and her husband Kenneth to live the life she wanted. Or had she? That question had always plagued the back of her son's mind. The letter she'd left had seemed sterile and fake, not like the warmth he'd known his mother to possess. But he had to believe that she'd left him, what other option was there?

   He wore her sweater almost daily, he wore her cross around his neck. He'd keep believing his mother had left him to suffer in a home with no love or warmth, to die of hypothermia as his father's cold glare raised him to be a perfect little copy.

   - Or -

   Travis's mother had left him when he was young, but the details of how she'd gone were always fuzzy. In a whirlwind of bad luck and annoying stoners, Travis will find out what actually happened to Maria Selah Phelps, whether he wants to or not.
