WINGS FOR SOARING:
Taking It To The Next Level - Beyond Jonathan Livingston Seagull
An uplifting story inspired by the spirit of Jonathan Livingston Seagull and the songs of John Denver.
Historical Note: This delightful yet thought-provoking novella was originally written as a sequel to Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach. However, the publisher and author would not sanction a sequel, and forbid the use of the character names. To avoid copyright infringement and litigation, the names of the characters and parts of the story line were changed in the present version.
