Tulips of Fate Ilya Rockwell

Granvill, a handsome, ambitious, yet mysterious man in his younger years, has retired to the life he envisioned, in a small village far away from everyone, in the midst of the natural beauty of the surrounding mountains and lakes.

With no job to go to, and the full freedom to do what he wants every day for the rest of his life, he is taking on Kindness as the way to guide his existence.

When he made the choice to retire, was he in full control of his plan or did fate have something else in store for him?

Granvill always had met any challenge in his life with strength and humility, but maybe his hardest challenge is still ahead.
The village was supposed to become his escape from his previous life. Instead, its residents change his life once more. All it took was one simple decision, when he showed his kindness by the idea of planting tulips for his neighbors.

Through Granvill's personal journey, this truthful yet imaginative, warm, and gentle story explores topics like our place in society, expectations from others, relationships between strangers, the effect of inevitable changes, fate, balance, love, friendship, and humanity.
