From a lifetime of experience comes a collection of short stories and poems by Douglas Townsend which explore love and adultery, birth and death, friendship and abandonment. "Prisoner in Another Man's Castle" is an allegory exploring the effects of courting another man's wife. "Journey to the End" tells the heartfelt story of a boy and his dog. A missionary's faith is tested in "Walking, Walking Alone." Real life events inspired many of the poems including "Baby's Silent Grave" and "Happy Birthday, Sister."
