"An old woman shares her house with a scruffy old dog, her best friend. When they go for a walk, the old woman throws sticks for the dog. She loves hearing the autumn leaves under her feet and the wind in the trees. She looks up at a crow and imagines what it might feel like to fly; she remembers playing outside as a child, never wanting to go in. "-- Provided by publisher.
