This book is no exception: Late one night while walking his dogs, Morais wondered what a single image would best capture a novel he was working on about his hometown, Milford. The full moon that stood over one of the back alleys prompted him to snap the beautiful, mysterious, and moody shadow-filled moonlit scene.

What started as a simple search for an image that would suit a murder mystery he was mentally formulating, became the process that ultimately morphed into its creative project: This series of photographs became a visual love letter to Milford, where his family has resided for four generations.
