The Morning Bird - Wagner, Colleen

Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Beth and her husband Jake are expecting a baby. While Beth is having an ultrasound, her very expensive coat disappears from the hospital waiting room. Beth is furious - the coat, a honeymoon gift from Jake, has become a symbol of the couple's destiny together. Doreen, a homeless woman, isn't sure if she stole the coat, or just borrowed it but one this is certain, she is picking up "vibes" from it and begins to imagine, surprisingly accurately, the lives of the people who own it. As the characters' lives become more closely intertwined, the line between reality and fiction blurs. Each of them will have to confront the shadow side of themselves before being able to hear the song of the morning bird.
