When living forever can be a choice, creating a legacy becomes a passion.Going to an estate sale can change your life. When Jean and Spence Collins move home to Portland, Oregon, to get a little magic in their lives, they didn't count on actually finding it in an old chest from the estate sale of an elderly widow. Hidden inside the chest is an ancient piece of fabric, and the images of the birds on it are alive. The birds hold the key to immortality—and they're about to remind Jean and Spence of their own mortality. Their attempt to unthread the fabric's long history entangles the Collinses in a lethal triangle: the elderly widow who is counting on becoming immortal; the widow's greedy son who wants the fabric for its potential value; and the FBI agent who's after him for insider trading.
