From the Author of The Stranger and A Rookie's Daughter comes the heart of a tender story of Hope's Lantern. Based on fact, a little boy learns of his mother's terminal illness, where she teaches him the value of kindness through the analogy of her flowers. After her death, seven-year-old Harry turns his grieving into something special, where he and his father, Jo, share a poignantly touching moment. With his loving kitten ever at his side, Harry finds comfort through his tears, knowing that his mother is watching from "Heaven's window". As a young man, Harry visits her grave, reflecting on the promise he made as a little boy, where he is the Hope in her brightly burning lantern. Through the sensitively strong, affectionate devotion Lee has always shared with children, this story brings that loving heart to readers in a beautifully special way in her passionately gifted talent for others.
