Brief Synopsis:
Sequel to Arnie the Darling Starling. Continues the adventures of Margarete , 
Arnie and the cats when they move to her parent's house on Cape Cod.


Long Synopsis:
The wonderful true, new story of Arnie, the famous talking starling. When 
Margarete returns to Cape Cod with Arnie and the three cats after a ten-year 
absence, she finds the family homestead so overgrown she has to prune their way 
to the front door. The house that had been full of love and laughter is now a 
lifeless shell, except for the ghost of Margarete's father in the bedroom. But, 
determined to make the house a home again, Margarete seeks out friends, old and 
new, animal and human- Edelweiss the skunk, Manx the tailless squirrel, 
Ekaterina the dying countess, April the neighbor who has lost her son. Soon 
Margarete and Arnie have filled their nest so well they begin to wonder whether 
there is such a thing as too much company. The first Arnie book was a story of 
breaking away, of letting go of dreams gone bad. The new one is a story of 
putting down new roots in old places. It says you can go home again. Margarete 
Corbo and Diane Barras, friends for many years, both now live on Cape Cod. 
Their highly successful first book, Arnie, the Darling Starling, was a 
Book-of-the-Month Club selection and a Reader's Digest Condensed Book, and it 
has been translated into several languages, including French, German, Italian, 
and Finnish.
