Author Description

"The Rock Garden is an anthology of non-fiction stories about Jim Bowsher and his extraordinary rock garden, the centerpiece of which is the Temple of Tolerance. This book also describes Jim's stunningly eccentric home, a veritable museum of eclectic objects and artifacts, with the connecting thread linking them all being that there is an amazing story behind each and every one. Additionally, the book recounts an unsolved murder mystery from the town where both author and protagonist were born, as well as a road trip they took together in the company of mutual friends. The Rock Garden reads like a series of compelling short stories, all of which paint a portrait of a unique and captivating man and of the strange and haunting world that he has built around him in a small Ohio town." --Back cover.
