"""Thomas Ronald Vaughan cares about people--the best thing I can say about someone. He has demonstrated that in a life of service via the mental health industry and through the Christian ministry. Vaughan does the same in these lyrical poems that through historical tragedies reveal a fallen humanity that nevertheless rises in the hope that his voice and spiritual bearing provide. On Courting Mary after Easter is a poetic journey more than worthy of our attention."" --Tim Peeler, author of West of Mercy ""From a lover's lost arms to blood diamonds and the enslavement of the innocent, in On Courting Mary after Easter, Vaughan again describes through metaphors and verse what it means to be human."" --Donna Marie Todd, author of Navigating Loss ""Thomas Ronald Vaughan cares about people--the best thing I can say about someone.
