An exceptional book in which the author shares his insights, philosophy, and resilience, although not from a point of self-indulgence or self-pity, but as an opportunity to reflect, re-evaluate and re-calibrate. There are some hard truths on these pages, along with the optimism and joy that comes from genuine understanding. His words serve as a companion, mentor, and guide... particularly for those seeking a practical and forceful, yet compassionate perspective on life's challenges. Like a Bird over a Flooded Land is a perfect gift for yourself, a student or graduate, and anyone looking for brief, uncomplicated, unvarnished experience, cautionary advice and life direction written in an intelligent, thought-provoking manner.
