"A shy girl and a perfect monk are both in search of the ultimate spiritual truth.
First they find - each other.
Then they find out about themselves.
Finally they discover where the ultimate truth
is hidden - somewhere else than they thought.
Gem's story is a novel about personal growth
and the quest for something greater than ourselves.

"A heartwarming book about a shy girl and a perfect monk who search for the meaning of life. The monk turns out to be less perfect than the girl thought, but she loves him anyway. The girl discovers she has a lot more qualities than she believed, and she gets answers to all her spiritual questions. This happens after quite a few struggles and an unexpected romance...
I have read this book several times and every time I find valuable things in it."
Sermin Kulcur, Resident Scholar
