About the Author
Benjamin Shepherd is a Stonemason, Olive Farmer, and the Author of "Before There Were Flowers." He lives in Ortigia, Sicily, Italy and works on his Olive Grove in Castiglione Di Sicilia on Mt. Etna. A survivor of repeat trauma he has found the courage to reach out to others through the written word: a listener, a self-healer, and a mender of loose bricks and broken things. The man mixing mortar or harvesting olives is a confidant and faithful friend to the mighty, the lowly, and all living things.
