John has spent seventy years building a life around work, order, control, and the belief that usefulness is the same thing as purpose.
Then a strange little leather-bound book begins appearing in his life.
Inside are tiny reflections—brief “tomes” about love, pride, regret, time, truth, possessions, and the choices people make without realizing what those choices are costing them.
John does not appreciate the book’s opinions.
Unfortunately, it seems to know him very well.
As old memories surface and long-buried decisions are forced back into the light, John is pushed to reconsider the life he built, the people he lost, and whether there is still time to become someone different.
Tiny Tomes for Tea is a reflective, humorous, and sometimes uncomfortable story about aging, regret, second chances, and discovering that the hardest person to understand may be yourself.
