520    Set in the present day in the rural community of 
       Feathertown, Tennessee, Flight Behavior tells the story of
       Dellarobia Turnbow, a petite, razor-sharp 29-year-old who 
       nurtured worldly ambitions before becoming pregnant and 
       marrying at seventeen. Now, after more than a decade of 
       tending to small children on a failing farm, oppressed by 
       poverty, isolation and her husband's antagonistic family, 
       she has mitigated her boredom by surrendering to an 
       obsessive flirtation with a handsome younger man.  In the 
       opening scene, Dellarobia is headed for a secluded 
       mountain cabin to meet this man and initiate what she 
       expects will be a self-destructive affair. But the tryst 
       never happens. Instead, she walks into something on the 
       mountainside she cannot explain or understand: a forested 
       valley filled with silent red fire that appears to her a 
       miracle.  After years lived entirely in the confines of 
       one small house, Dellarobia finds her path suddenly 
       opening out, chapter by chapter, into blunt and 
       confrontational engagement with her family, her church, 
       her town, her continent, and finally the world at large.--
