Product Description: <i>"In a little while, when the sky showed grey behind the rooftops and I could see the shredded curtains hanging out black windows, the Rgaman came upon a girl whose haed was wrapped in a bandage, whose eyes were empty. Blood soaked her bandage. A single line of blood ran down her check. </p>Now the tall Ragman looked upon this child with pity, and he drew a lovely yellow bonnet from his cart. </p>'Give me your rag,'he said, tracing his own line on her cheek, 'and I'll give you mine.'"</i>The stories, meditations and allegories in <i>Ragman</i> together explore the power and meaning of love within an often inhumane urban landscape. Walter Wangerin's vivid depictions touch our deepest pains with rays of joyful healing.</p>
