Ned Vatcher, only 14, ambles home from school in the chill hush that precedes the first storm of the winter of 1936 to find the house locked, the family car missing, and his parents gone without a trace. From that point on, his life is driven by the need to find out what happened to the Vanished Vatchers. His father, Edgar, born to a poor family of fishermen, had risen to become the right-hand man to the colony's prime minister, then suffered an unexpected fall from grace. Were he and his wife murdered? Was it suicide? Had they run away? If so, why had they left their only child behind?

Songs from Spirit radiates heartening wisdom; it is a warm volume with many masterful words about prayer; the equating of thought with prayer, the necessity of quieting the mind, the key of knowing the request will be granted, and the interconnection of everyone in the answering of each others' prayers. Many secrets and half secrets reside herein which were never meant to be concealed and which the slightest trial will reveal as truth. Pilgrims are urged to create Heaven now and to alter unrealistic conceptions of paradise later.
