Fancy Free: a Collection of Selected Writings V.d. Hill

From the distressing cry of battered wife--a woman hopelessly at odds with her disturbing circumstances--as she struggles to escape from her husband's wrath, to the tender tribute in remembrance of a cherished mother's love; from the shocking unveiling of a heinous crime committed by a trusted friend, to a grandmother's humorous recollection of a delightful slice of life; from the strange events that occur on an overcrowded train, where one passenger's act of courage miraculously saves the day, to the haunting rendition of an unfortunate slave girl's thirst for freedom, FANCY FREE, and Selected Writings by V. D. Hill takes an inspirational, often disturbing journey into some of life's unique complexities. Somber words of love, the compassionate pleadings of a wounded heart hoping for love's return, comforting words of praise that encourage the restless soul: together, these heartfelt emotions are awakened and become an integral part of this exceptional collection of treasured writings. Who among us has not wished for something more than life has given, or lost our heart's desire without understanding why; or searched from deep within to find the answers to our grief? Who among us has not found fallen prey to the uncertainties of life? And once the truth is known, who among us has not heard the sparrow's song?
