Discover the World of Boo. A fictional organization created by one man combining a childhood collection of stuffed animals with personalities he has encountered through a lifetime of triumphs and tribulations.
Natasha Crane has spent much of her early life grieving the death of her grandmother, her mother, and the loss of her father's love. It seemed to her that all was lost, and then, for her twelfth birthday, she was given a diary. Through it she discovered a whole New World and a new way to deal with pain, sorrow, and loss. She learned the importance of collecting memories and using the act of collecting as a healing salve for the wounds that are inflicted by everyday living. She learned to cope with her problems, to 'get on' with her life, and to trust in love anew.

Being pastor of this chapel for twenty-four years caps the long and multi-faceted career of Doc Windy who invites you on a picturesque guided tour nearly ninety years long.
