The story

After surviving a car accident, in which her mother Aliane dies swerving out of the way of an oncoming truck on a rainy night, 13-year-old Amy Alden is brought from New Zealand to Ontario, Canada, by her estranged father Thomas Alden, a sculptor and inventor, to live with him and his girlfriend Susan. When a construction crew destroys a small wilderness area near the Alden home, Amy finds an abandoned nest of 17 goose eggs. Without her father's, Susan's, or her uncle David's knowledge, she takes the eggs and keeps them in a dresser in her father's barn to incubate.
