On a summer morning in 2003, two adult mute swans and their cygnet sailed down Virginia's Indian Creek and into the lives of Gwen Keane and Bill Balderston. In the upcoming years, Gwen and Bill welcomed more of these graceful birds to the dock of their waterside home, and with each swan pair came new lessons to learn, new secrets of swan life to discover. Comprised of the couple's photographs, memories, and insights into the delicate relationship between mankind and the natural world, Swan Wait is the humbling and heart-warming record of two humans and their unlikely teachers.
