To help navigate her profound loss and preserve the memories of their shared love of the natural world, she retreats from the human world to train a wild goshawk, that she calls Mabel. But as she teaches Mabel to hunt and fly free, Helen discovers how deeply she has neglected her own emotions and life. Her unique bond with Mabel reintroduces her to the beauty of life and nature.
