I received a very special book yesterday by an up and coming author named Neil del Strother. The book is called The Flower in the Desert. It is an allegorical tale about the gift of friendship and love. I read the book in one sitting and was captivated by the tale from start to finish. Neil is a natural storyteller, his language is pure, simple and powerful. The Flower in the Desert is one of those books that you can read over and over again and find new meanings hidden in the many metaphors crafted into the story. If you enjoyed reading The Alchemist, you’ll like Neil del Strother’s The Flower in the Desert.
I’ve been in touch with Neil to see if he would agree to an interview and he has. So stay tuned. I think Neil has a powerful message that needs to be heard.
