Foreword

Each minute of When Geese Circle the Moon opens to wonderment. Anne Renfroe Hughes writes as if her life depends on her words. If everyone could be so modestly unassuming, but captivate you with lyrical expressions in print or speech, all the people of the world would all have a smile. When you read the Legend of the Geese story, you cannot resist feeling what Anne sees and understands as she peels back a view of love and life that only she can imagine. Her characters are so life like that they literally pop up to kiss you right between fantasy and reality. The perk however, is the sense of morality.

Anne Hughes lives her life from the inside out. Her spirit flickers through her physical realm where positive energies soar toward anyone within a finger’s length.
