Timesong is the inspirational story of a three-legged coyote named j.b. who befriends an autistic boy named Tom. Following the loss of his father, Tome retreats into a shell of isolation. j.b. counters Tom's despair with a simple and uplifting explanation of immortality. Timesong combines elements of science and religion to forge a thought-provoking message for young and old in time of personal crisis. For those trying to reconcile the loss of a loved one, Timesong may be the key that opens the door to acceptance and peace of mind. Timesong is a gentle gift of logic, written with humor and love. Author Bill Branon wrote Timesong for his 87-year-old mother as she battled cancer. "There are things a parent deserves to hear from a child other than 'good-bye'," says Branon. "Old New England Yankees like myself have a hard time saying 'I love you.' Timesong is my try."
Bill did an excellent job to capture the essence of losing a loved family member, yet seeing their spirit all around you after they leave this world. It has helped many of my friends deal with the transition of losing a father or mother. His words also helped me a great deal. This is a quick, must read story. Wayne
Beautiful descriptions of life, loneliness and death.

Mr. Branon stepped into another part of his soul as he wrote Timesong. It is far from his other novels. Timesong's words landed in a soft, beautiful space in my heart. I thank him for this unique look at people through the abilities found within a disability, through the fear of living and changes in dying. Timesong is a warm, wonderful way to spend a couple of hours cozied up with a cup of tea. I highly recommend it.
