The title of this book, A Flower and an Angel, is a poem in this book written by the author during his journey through the proverbial "valley of the shadow of death," following the rebirth of his second wife in heaven, after her short but courageous battle with breast cancer. In addition to the poem, A Flower and an Angel, the book includes a collection of short stories and other poems dedicated to the author's wife and others that uniquely describe the author's compelling spiritual life journey with intriguing detail from his very challenging childhood and upbringing in poverty with his polio-stricken single-parent mother and four siblings; disappointing first marriage, travel and adventures in the US military during the Vietnam War, first meeting with his father after childhood abandonment, and life experiences--good and bad--that set him on the road to perfection and a life under God's umbrella of everlasting love.

The book also includes the author's first published work, The Greatest of All Time, a poetic short story about the life of Muhammad Ali, and how his faith propelled him to be the heroic and legendary figure we know today.
