This book should be very interesting for those who find mental disorders to be intriguing and mysterious. The author offers us some insight on the life of someone who must overcome tremendous internal conflict, and not only learn from his experiences, but embrace the realities of his life. It can be described as a puzzling, yet, thoughtful human story of a lost soul searching to find knowledge, clarity, and trust.

Powerful! A very gripping story that is both enchanting and mysterious. It invites the reader to be a part of the story, feeling the love that Canon Carter has for his wife Mahsa and his feelings of spirituality, leaves the reader fulfulled. I look forward to reading his future novels.

The author, Cameron Chambers, deals with a very extraordinary set of factors. Canon Carter, the main character, is part mystic, part loving husband, and part faithful member of a very tragic family. He sorts through the difficulties in his life and emerges triumphant in the end. His is a story of spiritual and familial duty, a life of good serving others, and the story of a brave man and how he became who he is. The author's style is very engrossing. I felt compelled to read this book from the first paragraph.

A magician in a garden of words, the author depicts a troubled life in a difficult set of circumstances. It is easy to get wrapped up in this novel. The storyline pulls you in right from the beginning. I immediately felt like the events were happening to me. I highly recommend this book; it is a thought provoking novel and very unusual.

This insightful novel explores the state of mind and life of a man struggling with issues common to all of us - love, sanity (or sometimes lack thereof), family, friendships, and spirituality. It is a facinating view from the inside out of another person's motivations and viewpoints. Through masterful development of the main character as well as others in his life, the author catches one up in his unfolding story, almost making the reader feel like one of the characters.

Author Cameron Chambers takes us into the world of mentally ill Canon Carter, but at the same time makes us wonder if Canon is, perhaps, the most sane person around. Anyone who has ever come to grips with difficult family issues, past or present, can relate to Canon's struggles with his wife, mother and siblings. This is a fascinating glimpse inside the life and mind of this troubled but loving man as he attempts to conquer his demons and fashion a life that works. The author's style is lean, powerful and completely engrossing. I highly recommend it!

I started to read this book one evening and had a hard time putting it down. The author really has an interesting take on life and successfully draws you into the storyline. If you'd like to have a thought-provoking book in your collection, I'd recommend this one.
