Synopsis
The Long Lost Garden of Eden is a tribute to the fruit growers of the Central Valley of California and all other agriculture-derived industries. Mr. Charles remains true to his upbringing deeply rooted in agribusiness. This book is the result of his keen observations and 12-year research into what makes the San Joaquin Valley one of the most fertile lands in the country. His poems will give you a glimpse of the Central Valley's diversity. His research has culminated into the realization that fruit consumption must be the foundation of any worthy diet program. This collection will engage your mind and soul. It will provoke deep reflection that will lead to enlightenment, positive attitude and spiritual renewal. The themes of these poems are universal. Artistic appreciation, hope, beauty, love, loss, hard work, self-improvement, despair, migration, and drought are all themes anybody can relate to, irrelevant of their origins and taste.

December 06, 2003: My college buddy's father knows the author of this book. He went to his recent book signing in Madera, CA. That's where he bought him a copy which was then signed. In one seating, I read the book one night. Being born and raised in the fine and rich dirt of the Central Valley, I was surprised to see that something so beautiful could come of what I have been taking for granted. After reading the book, I have come to realize how good we have it here in the Central Valley of California. I especially appreciate the poems about white-fleshed nectarines and peaches. They make me appreciate more the bountiful harvests we have here every Summer. We have fruits year 'round in this part of the country. My friend was right when he said that this book could be offered as a present at any time. It's so good. It's great for any season. Don't judge any book by its cover. It's not another diet book. In fact, the subtitle only encourages others to eat more fruits as recommended by the Surgeon General. After you read one of these fine poems, you will want to hit your fridge to get your fruit servings. If you don't have any fruits at home, the next time you go to the supermarket, you will buy some. If the local farmers don't sell more of the fruits they produce, it won't be because somebody did not tell them how succulent local produce and vegetables are. Anybody who is related to the farming community should give 'thumbs up' to Mr. Charles for writing such odes to the people, farmers, growers and fruit pickers who bring us our foods. Way to go, Mr. Charles! I have already bought a few copies to give as gifts!

August 26, 2003: I read this book and I like it a lot. When I'm reading the title, I thought it was a book strickly about FRUIT only. No...it's about everything. Jony is a good writer and he should write more books....
