The Wing

I originally bought this because I love butterflies and American Indian folklore. However, after reading this book, I love its message so much that I now buy it for friends who are in mourning after the death of a loved one.

"When the circumstances of our lives are not changed, it does not mean that healing is not occurring," writes Buckley in his introduction. "We are not always repaired. We are sometimes re-created." Although this appears to be a children's book, the message if far from juvenile. In fact, I bought the book for myself. The story is truly inspirational and has the distinct feel of a Native American legend. I am very fond of Ray Buckley, and this is as good as the rest of his works. By one for a present, and another one for yourself.
