Alden Warren lives year round in Cape Cod where she works at the National Park Service's Cape Cod National Seashore Visitor Center. Her mother neglected her as a child while her father spent more time in jail than with his family. Two years ago her husband Monty vanished; everyone assumes he left either to escape Alden or found a new human female. His leaving has left his spouse even more imbalanced in terms of relationships except for her birds. Even with her failure with her “loved” ones, she yearns for a child.
