About this book

A visit to the ruined Carmel mission at Monterey opens this collection with a ghostly tale in verse. An unsettling guide leads the speaker toward the building's hidden history, and a bundle of old letters becomes part of the telling. Madge Morris Wagner uses crumbling stone, ocean sounds, and a dark chapel to give the scene its uneasy atmosphere. The collection then turns toward the smaller scenes and feelings of everyday life.

In the middle selections, flowers offer comfort at homes and graves, parted lovers say farewell, and twilight brings remembered faces and voices into view. A reflection on home considers how deeply people value familiar comforts after losing them. These pieces place affection, grief, memory, and hope close together, often using the natural world to express a change of feeling.
