Of course, the book was written about how they lost their daughter, Linnea, who went to heaven suddenly about eight years ago.

It's by a man named Philip Keller, who was an actual shepherd.
In this book, he takes you through verse by verse, explaining the psalm from a shepherd's perspective.
He anoints my head with oil, and he talks about noseflies.
Their attacks, the flies on animals, can readily turn the golden months of summertime into a time of torture for the sheep and drive them to almost distraction.
