Their courtship blossoms in a raptor rehabilitation center where wounded owls, eagles, falcons, and other iconic birds of prey take refuge and become ambassadors for their species. Initially, Melissa volunteers here in order to “sink her talons” into her new love interest, but soon she falls hopelessly in love with her fine feathered charges. Caring for birds triggers a deep longing in Melissa to mother an orphaned child. Thus, Melissa and Jonathan embark on a journey to adoption.
