"Much in the tradition of CS Lewis, Mr. Southard has created a true
allegory on everyman. All the hidden fears we share, the masks we show
others, and the hero or heroine in all of us that is waiting to burst
out if we can only find the courage to believe in ourselves.
We can all see something of ourselves in Megan, and I believe she
has something important to teach us. What that might be, I believe, is
up to the individual reader to discover." - James McRay
