(please note that Frost's work is not for everyone. It is dark, violent, and sometimes unexpected, but I believe he brings heart and a fresh perspective to such topics and well worth the read. His themes are for adults only.)

"The
Rose Petal" is a touching account of an abused girl who is misunderstood
and punished for not fitting into the conventional world.
Told through the eyes of her doctor, it recounts the sad life of
Matilda. The doctors reflects upon his encounters with her, wishing
that he had taken the time to understand her strange way of interacting
with the world.
Michael Frost's storytelling
abilities go far beyond the average writer as he creates vivid and
beautiful images with his carefully selected words. The emotional
experience of his storytelling leaves the reader shaken by its contrast
between violence and simplified beauty. By the end of the story, tears
of joy and sadness are the only way to express the journey that Frost has
taken the reader on. Handcrafted with infinite detail, Frost
understands his subject matter and pours his soul into each haunting
sentence. My heart went out to Matilda, and was captured by Frost's mesmerizing attention to the smallest details.
Perfection! A must read!
