Book Cover & Preview Text
The Maker heard her sadness. As the sun began to set, the still and quiet voice of the Maker came to Gail across the scarlet rays of the fading skies, 'Dear one, I created only one you. I love you! I know every feather on your head. I've known all your days before you were hatched. No, I didn't make you an oriole, eagle, robin, cardinal, or even a sandhill crane. I made you to be Gail the Quail. I made you to be the 'me' that only you get to be. Do not be overcome with the 'who' I made others to be. Simply remember to walk in the path I've prepared for you today. You see, I hold the key to your identity. You, alone, are the 'me' that only you get to be."

About the Book
Having a rough start to the day, Gail the Quail searches for her identity. Finding it easy to compare herself with the other birds, she sadly discovers what she is not. Despairing, Gail confronts the Maker.
The Maker responds, reassuring Gail that he has prepared an identity for her alone. He loves the “me” only she gets to be.
Encouraged, Gail realizes the Maker uniquely created her with skills of her own. She has learned the secret to being the “me” is walking in her Maker-given identity, and she is happy.
