This book is an example of the experiment of life. A life that is predestined before birth until its end. The choices we think we make aren't free choices, but rather ones designed to direct us through The Labyrinth of Life. They aren't choices at all, though the person making the choices may believe otherwise. William Elihu Palmer, in his 91st year of life, has the experience in which to reflect upon, not only the direction of his life, but his life at the present time. He's concluded that all his life has been in a labyrinth. Not sure how he got in, where he was going on, or how he'll get out. All of it predetermined before he was born.
