Michael Phillips has written a touching fantasy in the flavor of George MacDonald and C.S.Lewis.

The character, whose name is unimportant, awakens into a strange yet beautiful world. With the help of the individuals he meets, he begins to re-evaluate his past life.

He enters into the garden of tiny moments and the fragrance of fire on the journey to find his "Self". The colors and aromas of the flowers covering these magnificent gardens reach deep into his senses bringing forth the awakening of his true self. He begins to realize that every decision and choice has shaped his present character through the fragrances and odors the flowers emit.

The story is thought provoking. We may ask ourselves what we have done with what we have been given. Unlike the character, we may not have a second chance.
