We never know when we shall be inspired. It may through a casual conversation with friends, overhearing someone else's conversation, a personal experience, or of someone close to you.

What this canadian author shows us in his first book is that not all men are scared to show a sensitive side to themselves. Being very sentimental in some of his writings shows a vulnerability most men shy away from. Being in touch with his emotions is pretty clear in this book. From friends and relationships, P.J. Victor opens up to us on how he views things in his ideal world.
