There are times when a man knows what he should do but he feels helpless to change circumstances, or he is afraid to hope for something better. This second volume in the On a Wing and a Prayer series features true-life stories about men and boys, and the birds who taught them secrets of aiming high, soaring upward, and staying aloft. This book reveals how: A hummingbird sweetens a cantankerous cowboy's outlook. A faithful little hen saves the life of a wounded soldier. A Red-tailed hawk gentles a rebellious teen-ager. A family is saved by a raven, a ring, and a hard decision. A young boy learns responsibility from his sparrow hawks.
