    Mark Finch a publisher, meets and rejects the author of a crime novel, " The Gardener ". He had played this game of chess with hopeful writers many times before, and usually he got the best deal for his company. He had made his opening gambit and despite upsetting the author, he felt he had this author where he wanted him. However, this time his arrogance would have grave consequences. The actions of one egocentric man touches many lives. Mary his wife, Jodie his P.A. David his golfing buddy. Steven his gardener. Tony, a homeless paper seller at Russel Square subway station in London, The wealthy Milligan brothers, and even "Chip" the dog.

(Sir Walter Scott, 1808)

    "Kalia confessed to murder last night amid a hushed silence that lasted only a short while before he went into detailed account of the events that led to it . . . Thus begins one of the prayers in this book. This is a book of prayers that tell a story. But, of course, all prayers - all personal prayers - tell stories.
