Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver

When Dellarobia Turnbow stumbles upon a pocket of forest that's glowing red, her insular world of motherhood and farming unfurls from monotonous cocoon to front page news. Everyone wants first dibs on Dellarobia's discovery, from her overbearing in-laws and meddling journalists to environmental scientists and her church. But is the breathtaking sight a miracle or a warning? And is this Dellarobia's last chance to take flight?
