DOVELAND is a story of World War I and its impact on a bird community. A bevy of wild pigeons, doves, and grouse migrate from France to their beloved homeland in Belgium. Soon, the survival of their young becomes threatened by their formidable predator, the hawks. The fearful birds plan an early departure, but their plans are thwarted by the unexpected invasion of Belgium. When DOVELAND is destroyed, there are only two survivors: a turtle dove named Clovis, and a grouse named Homer. As the history of the war unfolds, these two fledglings join the allies to help defend their country the only way they know how - through communication. Secretly dwelling in the forests alongside the allies, France and Great Britain, they intercept and destroy messages sent by enemy carrier pigeons. The story covers the years 1914-1919, and envisions values of loyalty, valor, and friendship as seen through the eyes of a bird as he witnesses a war that exceeds human endurance.
