About the Book
Fix-boy and Fear-girl, the last of the children from the war-wrecked town of Tomorrow, leave their home to wander through the forest of Nox and up the mountain of Truth to find the one man who could help them end the war that devastated their home. They come across many dangers and tests of faith on their way to the top of the mountain. As they meander through this strange landscape, they meet friendly and not-so-friendly persons who aid and hinder the children the best they can.
With original art work, the story takes the reader through the maze of archetypal subjects. What may seem a simple children's story is more complex than that. Children can read this story and find it amusing, but there are many adults that would be able to spot the background meanings to the characters and the situations that happen to the children in the book.
These children force themselves to find the Truth and awaken their eyes to a new light. They find that, when we walk our own true path, we are at peace. When we walk the path that is not truly ours, we are at war with ourselves. They face down their fears and let themselves be taken on an adventure to the very heart of the mountain where they find the Inner Garden.
