In this text, that is a celebration of joy as hope, H.A. Williams explores the world of selfhood, of other people, of nature and of the arts. It acts as a reminder that we are often in the position of the prodigal son who needs to be reminded of the joy of his father's home and also needs to be put back on the road towards it. Williams bids the reader to remember that the hole in the human heart cannot be filled with anything less than God.
