About this book
A winter flower becomes Sarah S. Mower's image of a friend who brings comfort when life is hardest. Her poetry collection draws on blossoms, trees, flowing water and memories of a country home. In the preface, she describes how illness restricted her life and how birds, wind and the nearby Androscoggin inspired her writing. An exchange between a proud oak and a small stream turns their place in the landscape into a lesson about useful work and humility.
Family affection gives these moral and religious poems a more personal setting. Addressing her brother Hiram, Mower recalls gathering berries, watching lambs and sharing winter evenings around the hearth. Another poem follows brother and sister along a forest path as a storm breaks.
