About this ebook

Suicide, remorse, making amends! Welcome to Palm Island--a paradise outside space and time where even death does not preclude redemption. Martin, a disillusioned and lonely physicist who decides that suicide is his only remaining option, is magically transported to this place where time stands still.

There, he meets other scientists, two chefs, a lost family member, and a young descendant of royalty. All had also led tragic and unfinished lives--nevertheless, they had persisted! The threads of these lives weave together across the boundaries of culture, language, and time. In Palm Island, these lonely travelers' stories inspire the others and lead them to eventually find peace and, perhaps, a little joy.
