Original book of photographs and text compiled by a bestselling author,

comprised of moonlight scenes of Milford, Pennsylvania, where he

creates a visual meaning and mood to his ancestral village of four

generations. Richard Morais is particularly suited to this endeavor: When

he writes his novels, he endeavors to convey a meaning or mood or scene

in a book (and thus his bestselling book, The Hundred Foot Journey,

Scribner, 2010 became a film version, 2014) by striving to capture the

right image more than the right word. The fashioning of this book was no

exception: Late one night while walking his dogs he wondered what a

single image would best capture a novel about his hometown, Milford.

The full moon that stood over one of the back alleys prompted him to

snap the shadow-filled moonlit scene that was both beautiful and

mysterious and moody. After that first photograph, the assembly of

images took on a life of its own. What started as a simple search for an

image that would suit a murder mystery he was mentally formulating,

became the process that ultimately morphed into its own endeavor:

This series of photographs that became a visual love letter to Milford,

where his family has resided for four generations.
