In this second part of the series, set in 1961, Eric Snyder's paintings are gaining new audiences while his wife Lynne's former occupation of a hospital nurse has been jettisoned for the role of artist's model. Yet more is altering for Lynne, as she and Eric find themselves on the cusp of their hearts' desires.
Eric's best friend Sam Ahern recounts some of his Korean War experiences, which draws the attention of Lawrence 'Laurie' Abrams, the partner of Eric's art dealer Stanford Taylor. Laurie's cousin Seth Gordon also fought in Korea, and is severely traumatized. Sam equates his and Seth's experiences to what Eric undergoes both in changing into a hawk, and his time as a bird of prey. Yet Seth's mental and emotional damage threatens to separate Eric from Lynne just when the couple needs each other the most.
Firmly rooted in early 1960s reality, the setting travels from the Snyders' home base of Central Oregon to the metropolitan exploits of Manhattan as Eric's fame increases from two successful art exhibits. Yet all the painter wants to do is remain near his beloved, as Lynne's body and soul expand in unpredictable directions. Faith is central to this tale, as the Snyders contemplate joining the Catholic faith, while Sam ponders how far God permeates a former soldier's heart; can Eric's art heal the seemingly irreversible harm to Seth's mind before that man slips into permanent psychosis?
