Writer and veterinarian Walter R. Hoge celebrates the value of a brave and generous heart in “Easter: McEaster Valley”. He encourages readers to ponder at the majesty of Mother Earth in this brief tale and imagine a perfect life well lived without compensation. This intriguing parable takes him and his dog along the way through an otherworldly valley into the mountains of the Sierra that brings them to a remote area where a stranger guides them deep into a mountain cavern and into another world. It is a spot of tranquility, serenity, and wonderful elegance.
