<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">On a beautiful, spring afternoon, a broken man stands at his
wife’s funeral and hears the words, “Heaven Enough.” Thus begins a poem about
longing, about wishing for something more. "What would it be like if I had
heaven enough?" it reads.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Matt Murphy reads these words for the first time at his
wife's funeral. After a death shrouded with mystery, it is the first time he
learns that she wrote poetry. He and Diva were married for nearly twenty years,
yet he did not "know" her. A poet and lover of culinary delights, she
is struck by a car and killed instantly—randomly—on the wrong side of town.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When her brother, the "monk," appears for the
funeral, Matt is set on an unprecedented course. The two find Diva's computer
filled with preparations to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. Over 2600 miles from
Mexico to Canada...and she was leaving without her husband.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Matt takes it upon himself to hike the trail and sprinkle
her ashes along the way. What happens in the first two hours is dumbfounding. </span></div>

<br /><br />
Oily pavement.<br /> Thick tempera paint.<br /> A parking lot filled with history, fear, and regret.<br /> A young man named Joseph Arillo sits in the parking lot and paints the pavement with flowers.<br /> And Andy Hollis steps in it.<span class="text_exposed_show"><br />
As the new art teacher at Santa Ana High School, he’s too curious about
Joseph’s Flowers and unravels both of their lives in his pursuit for
answers.<br /> He learns that it’s all part of a rite of passage, an
absurd test started by Joseph Arillo’s father, the suspiciously
world-renowned artist named only Tom. Which also connects to the drama
teacher at Santa Ana High, Katie Bustos. Whose daughter, Desiree, may or
may not be dating Joseph. Who is putting himself in danger from a local
gang, the lot’s mysterious history, and the police.<br /> Andy puts
himself in danger of losing his job, his home, and his freedom. If he
can’t solve the riddle of Joseph’s Flowers, both of their lives will go
up in smoke – despite any help from Winny, the old, Slovakian bureaucrat
at school, or his students, or Tom himself.<br /> But is Tom trying to help? And is Joseph really up to his father’s test?<br />
And is Andy really fit to be a teacher? He doesn’t understand kids,
can’t get to school on time, and… doesn’t appear to care about art or
families or anything. But Joseph’s Flowers will challenge everything
Andy believes: about himself, about the world, and most importantly of
all about art.<br /> Before Andy and Joseph are finished, they will
witness the power art has to provide inspiration, to waken our hearts,
and to shatter everything you ever believed about humanity.<br /> An
Intention of Flowers is the first book in a 5-book series, modestly
titled Work of Art, about growing into the person you always wanted to
be, making the most of what you have to give and not just what you have,
and the power in each of us when we chose to be ourselves.</span><br />
