In the Earth, Seven Gifts lay waiting. Then the rains came ... as a young boy taking on a "profound and insane" journey through strange, interwoven worlds to find and germinate the Gifts. He is aided by "some of the most bizarre and memorable characters that have ever appeared in a book". From a reject rock star to a lonely white dolphin, each shows the boy the way of a Gift. And with the guidance of an Angel in a mysterious garden, the boy awakens the Seven Gifts; and the Seven Gifts awaken us.
"Beautifully written tales that capture the mind, heart and spirit" -- Szoch

“Brilliant ... bizarre ... details of seamanship are surreal” -- Jenny from England
“Madness dances with brilliance” -- The Nelson Mail
"This highly unusual tale delivers seven thought-provoking stories, laced with a large collection of some of the most bizarre and memorable characters that have ever appeared in a book ... these quite incredible characters and events begin to strike the reader as insanity on the part of the author. However, if insanity it is, this is the type that gives birth to great achievements" -- The Book Review Blog
