The Sun Has Wings: the Story of Yewbie, the Talking Ape

Melissa Joyner is a young scientist who discovers an unknown species of apes on a remote island in the Indian Ocean. The apes are not only intelligent but can speak. They have their own language. Their own culture. Their own way of seeing the world.
Melissa manages to capture one of the apesa young male named Yewbie. She takes him to America to study but with the intent of returning him to his island home.
Things do not go well. Yewbie is not sure if humans are gods or demons but he clearly sees his cage as unjust and escapes.
After Melissa manages to find the missing ape and then learns he can speak, she swears she'll never keep him in a cage again and a close friendship grows between the two of them.
When the world learns of Yewbie and discovers he can talk, he becomes an international sensation. He appears on TV. His sayings become a best selling book. His tribal songs become a smash album. A cult soon forms around him.
Then a large corporation, Bestor International, claims him as their property and legally wrestles him away from Melissa. But are their intentions as good as they claim or do they plan to use Yewbie for their own greedy ends?
Can Melissa rescue Yewbie before Bestor poisons him, both body and soul? Will she ever be able to return him to his island home?
THE SUN HAS WINGS is a novel about nature, friendship, greed and hope. A novel with humor and suspense that will leave you thinking about our relationship to the natural world in a whole new way.
