Milford Moons: A Writer's Visual Love Letter to His Ancestral Village, is an original book of photographs and text compiled by bestselling author Richard Morais, comprised of moonlit scenes of Milford, Pennsylvania. Morais creates a visual meaning and mood of his beloved hometown.

Richard Morais is particularly suited to this endeavor: When he writes his novels, he conveys an atmosphere or sensibility in a book by striving to capture the right image more than the right word. That's how his bestselling novel The Hundred-Foot Journey became a celebrated 2014 Steven Spielberg-Oprah Winfrey film starring Helen Mirren. 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. After that first photograph, the assembly of images took on a life of its own. 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.
