Wild geese fly south in the winter in search of warmer climate and better feeding grounds, but what if one falls in your backyard late at night? This happened to Madam in December of 1967 in Linton, Oklahoma. Madam's cantankerous cat, Flo, is asleep on the sofa in the den when she's awakened by a noise. The disturbances are the croaking and honking sounds of a goose, but it sounds like it has a cold. The sound disturbs Flo, so she goes to Madam's bedroom to summon her to take care of matters. Madam goes out and gets the goose over Flo's protest, but she convinces Flo that they have to take care of the goose until it is able to fly again. Madam knows that the struggle between Flo and the goose isn't going to be easy, but her goal is to help the goose heal.

A LAMP IN THE WINDOW is based on facts and fiction. The author based her story, on childhood stories that her mother, Clemmie, told her about her childhood, while growing up on the family's farm in Minden, Louisiana. She used the stories that she remembered, and added her imagination to complete what she thought might have or could have happen.
