Summary
Over 64,000 black women are missing in the United States. This is the story of one of them.
Birdie Daniels has been missing for 25 years. She drove away from her husband and daughter in a brand new Chevy Camaro to visit friends in New Orleans. Neither she nor the car were ever seen again. Birdie disappeared just as she was experiencing the happiness that had always eluded her. Her daughter, Carli, is the only one who truly believes her mother is still alive, and she is determined to find her.
With the help of a brilliant and driven private detective, Carli embarks on a search that will answer many questions about her mother and change her own life forever.
This novel begins in New Orleans in the 1980s and continues to present day Houston, Texas. Carli learns of her mother's complicated and tragic past, and comes to appreciate the great love affair of her parents just as she is falling deeply in love.
Searching for Birdie addresses colorism, sexism, racism, LGBTQ prejudice, and the joys and limitations of true love while telling the story of a daughter's journey to the truth.
