The four stories in this slim volume are uniquely different. "My Father's Purse" is a delightful childhood tribute to the author's father and his purse, which could magically render objects to solve any problem. "Through the Doggie Door" allows us an intimate journey into the mortality of Morgan, a border collie. "Moon Song" is a mythological tale of the resolution of night and day, moon and sun, peace and war-open to interpretation by the reader. And, "The Becoming of Hiram" gives us an unusual insight into the cycle of life from the perspective of a pumpkin.
