Foursquare: Tales of Life is a compilation of essays by four authors who grace us with their take on life, love, and their animals. There is pathos when Jill Pierce writes about losing her dog Maggie: "It rained more the week you died than it had in months. It was as if God himself knew I couldn't shed enough tears for you, and he let the sky provide the rest." There is humor: Sheryl Lynn Arbuckle's story "Even Cowgirl's Get Crohns." Elegant prose from Jackson Ahern: "Cowboy boots kick open a door too dirty to touch. A dozen hunched souls glance left, observing two strangers as we enter." And there is touching memoir by Randall "Jay" Andrews: "I think about this life I've lived, fifty years of seeing through my eyes the people I call family passing the torch from one to the next..."

"Tales of Life" is exactly what this charming book promises and delivers.
