In 1983, Mike O'Connor opened the Bird Watcher's General Store on Cape Cod, which might well have been the first store devoted solely to birding in the United States. Since that time he has answered thousands of questions about birds, both at his store and while walking down the aisles of the supermarket. The questions have ranged from inquiries about individual species ("Are flamingos really real?") to what and when to feed birds ("Should I bring in my feeders for the summer?") to the down-and-dirty specifics of backyard birding ("Why are the birds dropping poop in my pool?"). Answering the questions has been easy; keeping a straight face has been hard. Why Don't Woodpeckers Get Headaches? is the solution for the beginning birder who already has a book that explains the slight variation between Common Ground-Doves and Ruddy Ground-Doves but who is really much more interested in why birds sing at 4:30 A.M. instead of 7:00 A.M., or whether it's okay to feed bread to birds, or how birds rediscover your feeders so quickly when you've just filled them after a long vacation. Or, for that matter, whether flamingos are really real.

Raised with manners, morals, and a good head on her shoulders, 21-year-old Paris doesn't look a thing like what she's been through. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Paris is whisked away at an early age and raised by her paternal grandmother. While she blossoms into a respectable young lady, frequent flashbacks from her childhood leave her with a heart full of resentment and a box of letters from her imprisoned father. As summer break arrives before her final year of college, life as she knows it comes to a screeching halt when her grandmother needs assistance running the family-owned business. Without giving it a second thought, Paris dives in head first, and while learning the ropes, she encounters a roughneck named Sterling. While romance is the farthest thing from her mind, Paris discovers that she thoroughly enjoys Sterling's company. Then smack dab in the middle of figuring each other out, the unthinkable happens, and Paris is left wondering if time really can heal all wounds.
