A Flower named Spirit is a moving story about a flower whose name is not arbitrary, but symbolic of a life's story. Spirit speaks to our desire to "stay here forever", and to our amazing ability to embrace Time, which affects the ending of all things. This story is a parable about life that radiates hope, using science as the illuminator. It is written for children, but provides comfort to readers of all ages who have, or inevitably will, experience the loss of someone they love.
