The Garden of Stars - Samuel Canerday - Bog

A young, unnamed narrator eschews a typical life of going to college and settling into a career and, after having a fight with his mother about this fact, decides to run away from his life. He escapes to the town of Mable Point, and here he decides to strike out anew and carve out a new path for himself. However, things quickly prove to not be as they seem in the town, where a beautiful, other-wordly place known as The Iris Gardens resides, and the narrator finds himself caught in the midst of strange visions, shadowy figures wandering the town, and multicolored lights that shine in the bay to the south east of the town. Along the way, he makes two friends, James and Gavin, and together, they must work to unravel the mystery of The Garden of Stars.
