What we can recall of our respective personal histories is minute and constantly diminishing - single words or phrases, the smell of a particular location, an incidence of weather. Even when we believe we remember or understand such things well, import may not be apparent until long after the fact, if ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten in a conversational, modern poetic style, Landmarks \u0026amp; Beacons is a look at relatable, real-life personal transformation.
