The geese give him the spark he needs to get stronger everyday. As the geese raise their goslings, Tommy watches and learns about the geese, about himself, about fighting, and about healing.

Excerpt from DriftMiss emma endicott sat up very straight, knit ted rapidly and looked at her niece. The expression around her mouth indicated that no further statement of the case need be made; she was unalterably, inexorably, and completely opposed.Nevertheless, her niece went on talking, the slow cadences of her young voice rising and falling until her aunt gave an exasperated sigh. Eileen 's voice was one of the things that made it difficult for an elderly lady, outwardly rigid but inwardly soft, to hold her own. In an undulating, wheedling, altogether illegitimate manner, independent of the words it spoke, this shame less voice assailed and beat upon her unresisting ears, crept in and wound itself around her too tender heart, until, struggling more and more feebly, she would feel her brave show of resistance fade to a spasmodic flutter and go out.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
