Book Review: I left my heart at Hawk Mountain!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the poetry of a man who loved the world and all its creatures, including humanity. Maurice Broun's words evoke the passage of time, the rhythm of the seasons. His passion for life pours forth from every page. And perhaps no other book better exemplifies the beauty of autumn raptor flights. This book is blessed!
