Publisher's Synopsis
Angela stumbles across an archived video of a strange boy that sends her headlong into an unintended quest. She discovers that the boy holds a profound and singular secret about the human reality. But along the way Angela uncovers a second secret, one which makes it personal. And so her journey will take her through profound views of the human condition before finally arriving at that place which is ultimately Deep Serenity.
Readers have described this unique work as "deeply moving" and as "taking you to a place which feels truly real". It has been described as "imaginative, funny, sometimes surreal and packed with insights into the deepest levels of human consciousness." The story within the story is a fantastical parable in which the reader meets an architect whose discovery of the secret of beauty leads him unwittingly into the deepest realms of human perception and of reality itself. The reader will meet a developer who reverses the urbanisation of the entire earth and returns it to pristine forest; a pearl diver; a terrifying and enormous dog capable of shape shifting; two brave four-year-old girls who must fend for themselves in the mountains indefinitely in their fathers absence; the man who is like a hole in the sky; and many more. For the modest price of this book you will take a trip more astonishing and revealing than psychedelics. But woven through this account is a meticulously analysed and poetically conceived path to unassailable, real Deep Serenity. Based on real events.
