Book Examines Survival and Existence from a Possum’s Point of View

Harriet’s Journal by Michael Springthorpe is a wonderful and uplifting story told from the perspective of one of God’s creatures, a possum named Harriet. The story captures in vivid detail how life and existence can be seen through the eyes of a lowly possum.
 
Harriet the possum takes center stage in Springthorpe’s book. The author masterfully draws a clear picture of the story for the readers with his wonderful descriptions, which guide readers into the eyes and mind of a possum who has a penchant for adventure and keen observation. With craftily chosen words to describe what’s going on inside and outside of the main character. The readers will be drawn and intrigued as to how an animal like a possum goes about its life and how it views its existence. Readers will experience a wildly touching and relatable description of one animal’s strength to do what it must to survive and also conquer the hardships, responsibilities and phases or seasons of existence.
 
The story will grant readers a new level of adventure, spiritual awareness and existential understanding. Although portrayed and told from the perspective of an animal, the story and the themes of survival and existence are nevertheless very relatable to the human situation. Thus, this is a story that can touch the hearts of the readers and can draw greater appreciation of life.
