The Imperfectly Ordinary Trilogy is the story of his life’s journey beyond the contradictions and denials of a strict New England Puritan upbringing, to the hard-won understanding of what had made him the way he was. Robert A. Benjamin re-invented himself around his acknowledgement that he had been blessed with the soul of an artist and his acceptance of what he had been called to do with that gift.
A Gift of Dreams, the first volume of author Robert A. Benjamin's trilogy Imperfectly Ordinary, recounts his experiences as an uncommonly bright child of small town America with an abiding interest in airplanes, and explains what it feels like to realize that you are the one who will always be different. Since those boyhood days, Mr. Benjamin has found himself driven to discover what he ought to do about that, and in time he came to understand that it was his calling in life to become a writer. This is his story, which continues with I Promised You Daisies and concludes with the soon to be released Side Door to Heaven.
