Poems that welcome and embrace Mother Nature's seasonal wind blown mysteries. This book of poetry invites you to pause, kneel down in a meadow and experience the flora and fauna of Pennsylvania. To live among the rolling hills and valleys, as nature's changing rhythms keep the time. In Sway by Tricia Johnson, we imagine ourselves in the wilds of Nature with our heads resting on the back of our arms, eyes wide, observing the Living World.

But when he uses her long denied feelings to sway her to his cause, will she fight for her dream or will she find that both could lead to a prize worth winning?
