Each of us has a journey to make and a story to tell, of love or loss, joy or tragedy, spring or winter. Yet the journey is always signposted by those glimpses of hope we encounter on the way, whether in the people we have known, the friendships we have cherished, the wonders of the world around us, or the many other miracles that make every day of our life.
These poems are such signposts, acknowledging the reality that hope can sometimes be frustrated, diminished, or even forlorn, but all rooted in the author's Christian faith that ultimately, as we walk on our search for God, we do not walk alone.
“Pat O’Doherty has a remarkable way with words. At times, deeply reflective and on other occasions tinged with wry humor, his prose breathes in the highs and lows of our common journey, offering us hope in the little things that lead us ever deeper into the great mystery of what it means to be fully human.”
—Michael Braswell, author of Interview with Joab
