The author explores a teenager's emotional struggle with his best friend’s young attractive stepmother to avoid a forbidden relationship in a small Maryland town in 1958..
1958 was not a particularly eventful year for Jimmy. That is, until a 1957 Ford Fairlane drove up beside him one day after school. The driver, a young attractive woman with beautiful green eyes wore a gold chain around her neck that disappeared oh so mysteriously into her blouse....
She dressed elegantly, smelled wonderfully and made Jimmy catch his breath. She was also his best friend's young, stepmother, Carol Dulaney.

Biography :
Frank Arcilesi has recently authored 'Every Day a Bird Learns How to Fly.'
Montgomery Village, Maryland is an area of rolling green hills, beautiful parks and cherry blossoms. Dubbed ‘The Best Hometown in Maryland’, Montgomery Village is a short train ride from Washington DC, and less than an hour’s drive from Baltimore. Along with 40,000 other people, Frank Arcilesi calls Montgomery Village his home.
The air was crisp and the sky was bright the October morning that I asked Mr. Arcilesi to fill me in on his novel 'Every Day a Bird Learns How to Fly,' and his life in general.
“I grew up in Baltimore, Maryland with my mom, dad and older brother. The city had a special charm with its small ethnic neighborhoods and friendly people. There were the Orioles and Baltimore Colts, until they (Colts) were unceremoniously hijacked at midnight by the Mayflower vans. Johnny Unitas and Brooks and Frank Robinson were my heroes.
When I was a kid my mother worked as a buttonhole maker in a custom suit factory and my dad pressed garments. They were un-fun jobs but they kept food on the table for my brother and me. School was a little out of the ordinary. My high school was all male and we had to rent female cheerleaders from other schools for our football games. We never knew if they were really cheering for our team or the opposition. I attended college just near Baltimore at Towson State; studied Mass Communications and Mathematics. I’ll let you decide which one I found boring.”
“How about favorite places?”
“Antiques shops are fascinating and I'll stop at any new one I discover. I love to drive through the countryside of Pennsylvania and in summer my
Book Review :
Midwest Book Review(5 of 5 stars):
The stepmother of one's best friend in high school - there doesn't seem too much potential for romance. "Every Day a Bird Learns How to Fly" is a classic love story about Jimmy and Carol, only Jimmy is fresh out of high school and Carol is older and the mother of his friend. For 1958 in a small community in the state of Maryland, it's not the most kosher thing socially. Jimmy and Carol are stuck in a conflict of love and respect, and have no idea which will win out. "Every Day a Bird Learns How to Fly" is a fine addition to any romance shelf and for anyone who wants a controversial love story.
