Overview

While attending the funerals for several family members lost in a fire, Sofia finds herself plagued with a bitter taste nothing can remove. A year later, she rescues a white snake trapped in her garden. The bitter taste disappears and Sofia discovers she has been given a gift: She can understand the speech of animals. This gift, however, comes with some heavy responsibilities. Three physical animal guides enter Sofia's life to help release her from her grief. Her dog, Jet, is exuberant and joyful while Afra, the doe, is an empathic, grieving mother. Anat, the vulture, is a harsh, sometimes terrifying teacher. While Sofia struggles to become open to life and love, she tries to reach out to her niece, Meredith, the only survivor of the fire that took her family, and Matt, the young woman's damaged, sometimes violent friend. She hesitantly considers exploring love with the dark-eyed man Jet has chosen for her. But he has suffered a tragedy so shattering he is in danger of shutting himself away from any human contact whatsoever.
