This is a story of a soul who journeys through nine distinct cycles of time and gradually experiences and discovers the purpose of her life. Written in the poetic symbols of the imagination with the heroine being at first a tiny roseseed the author hopes to enchant and inspire the reader with a vision of the unfolding stages of the life we all share. The beautiful illustrations are by Corinne Randall a wellknown artist based in Bristol UK. They perfectly match the tones and colours of The Rain
