In these eleven first-person narratives, Morgan visits the themes that matter to all people in all places: birth and death, love and loss, joy and sorrow, the necessity for remembrance and the inevitability of forgetting. \u003cbr\u003e This is a moving tribute to that which is universal and eternal -- the majestic immutability of the earth and the heroic human struggle to live, love, and create new life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Atlanta Journal-Constitution\u003c\/i\u003e Always, Mr. Morgan writes with beauty and precision.
