Publisher's Synopsis
The source of inspiration of "Seeds of Light" comes from essays written by my
great-grandfather Josh David Hamilton almost one hundred years ago.
Century. All the characters and places are real except the seeming impossibility of proofing
the existence of the legendary Garden of Miss Franklin and this 'other earth world' that my
great-grandparents discovered through and beyond an Arbor located within this mythical
Garden. The events portrayed regarding my great-grandparents are taken almost word for
word from the essays. Passed down for generations were stories of Miss Franklin's amazing Garden.
Being a family tradition to pass this story on to each Hamilton generation, I'm familiar with
this tale of Miss Franklin's Garden of incredible beauty. However, the essays give detail
accounts of this Garden, far and beyond the stories that have been pass down. We remain completely baffled as to why he portrayed this elaborate story as if it
were a real experience. We are also mystified as to his vision into the future regarding the
field of aviation, and a science that involves a very unusual kind of seed engineering. The essays contain an unbelievable description of a Science in this other earth
world of Arthur and Jonas that transcends the science of technology, especially what he
termed 'The Seeds of Light'. These seeds of light apparently unlocked a realm in which the
pure essence of all form became a tangible light. This is the source of their 'City of Light'. The essays reveal a world of such magnificent beauty that both children and adults
will thrill in the possibility of such a reality. A mystical theme is experienced throughout, a
theme that becomes one with Nature as it exists in its highest expression of magnificence
and beauty. From a quote in my great-grandfather's essays, "It has become apparent to me in
my adult years that it is my honor and duty to play my part in passing on to a future Hamilton
generation the key that will reopen the gate to the world of my beloved friends Arthur and
Jonas. When that time arrives, they have assured me they will contact this forthcoming
generation of the Hamilton family who will be living on Wood Song. They would not give an
explanation as to how they knew or acquired this knowledge of my family's future."
