Timeless Gardens & Other Beautiful Miseries - Paperback

by T. J. McGowan (Author), Jennifer Johnson (Editor), Saba Umme Salma (Editor)

Ellis Foster is, in many ways, a man which time had forgotten. Unintentionally orphaned from existence, he is now the gatekeeper to an insatiable void hidden in the fabric of our reality. One where seconds, minutes, and hours do not exist, and grief is both fuel for survival and the very essence of extraordinary beauty. And, within those cracks and crevices of the unknown, he will soon come to learn there also dwells truths not so pretty.

Laura Nagan, derailed by unexpected loss and anchored to irrevocable hopelessness, stands at a crossroad where pain outweighs peace, and her life is no longer a place she wishes to exist in. However, in a moment of coincidence, or possibly even fate, she finds herself with an opportunity at a second chance when her world collides with Ellis.

Are answers out there for them, in the inexplicable corners of the universe? Can solace be found within entwining voids of their past, present, and future? Or, might certain horrors lurk in the darker parts of uncharted existence?

Venture into the small town of Hollow Hills, into the lives of these two people, to uncover the true depths of grief; to discover what it means to be trapped, and perhaps what it means to be free.

This book is for those who know grief, seek the healing powers of love, strive to identify the true meaning of home and family, ponder the fluidity of time and mortality, or simply want to leap beyond the veil of what sits in front of them, in order to dip their toes into the mysterious, magical, and unapologetic pools of nature and human connectedness.

Don't be afraid. Step inside.
