Footprints of a Stranger is a collection of emotions — tiptoeing between the experiences of the author and the sentiments of others. Barbara Gurney's poetry passionately explores attitudes, observes nature and reminisces. Nature compels us to take heed — 'stand up, bring the world your courage'. Contemplations express the shadows lurking within us all — 'my dark forbidden place'. Joy comes from family, friends and life itself — 'A glance, a smile, pass it on to me'.
