Welcome to the world of the Golden Pear.

A lonely wizard follows a stolen golden pear, until he finds the island of the golden pear trees and friendship with a group of fishermen.

The eight golden pears grow mysteriously in the south, land of long ago... when slavery was only yesterday, and the myths and beliefs in curses and woe threaten behavior, and secret knowledge hangs in the humid air, like Spanish moss in the cottonwood trees... This unusual book is a parable-of evil, and rape, and the strange growths that can flower in secret gardens... Gold-the golden pears, the golden ornament that appears from nowhere-runs like a bright thread through this novel of the unseen and the unknown.

The parable of a simple story to illustrate moral of the righteous ones and the wise one and their works are in the hand of the true God. Mankind is not aware of either the love or the hate. All are the same in what all have.
