A review of this book by author Mya Gleny:-
"In times so full of falsehood and sensationalism, Richard Small’s collection of short stories breathes a welcome change that is undeniably honest and true. It is rare indeed to find an author prepared to be so soulful and generous with his own life, whilst telling a tale with such purpose and intent. These stories, told with much candour and openheartedness, draw us in and invite us to walk a journey of hope, discovery and enlightenment. Within each one is a pearl, and our task as readers is to find that pearl, capture it and become the richer because of it.
Richard generously shares with us his hard earned wisdom in words that not only entertain but also hold the keys to many of life’s mysteries. Every time I re-read them, I find something new, and that is a precious gift indeed!" M.G.
