This story is so very beautiful. The language employed in writing it was a melody in and of itself. Though it was very flowery in places, it didn't feel contrived or overdone. And the unfolding of the story was like the budding of an orchid, one bloom opening at a time, revealing the beauty yet with the promise of more to come. I'm so glad the author continued Leland's story and allowed there to be such healing for him.
