The Ray of Hope

Book excerpt: This is a collection of short stories that Austin wrote between seven and eleven years. They all revolve around a central theme: How we humans are destroying nature. He also wrote these stories to show that, while we are the ones who are destroying nature, we can also be the ones who save nature. We can help it recover, helping ourselves in the process. Austin wrote this book as a light to illuminate the fact that we can make a difference and that there is always hope for nature and us. This book is to show that there is a path to a greener future. Hopefully, we follow that path and work with nature, not against it.
