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'.
