This is a quick and delightful read! The story is told by the author beginning with an encounter with "Jones" decades earlier and the impact he had in changing his life. Then he shows up again and we experience his journey as he helps people in need to gain some perspective. The story combines magical elements with reality so it seems true even though it must be fiction. It does make you stop and think and has bits of wisdom throughout. The theme is that opportunities and encouragement come from people, so how you present yourself to others is important. One of the quotes I loved is "Forgiveness is about the past. Trust and respect are about the future. Forgiveness will be in the hands of others and can be given to you, but trust and respect are in your own hands...and must be earned." An enjoyable and eye-opening journey.
