If I could give it more than 5 stars this would be it! This author has the gift & the power to make you experience her remarkable craft on a whole other level. I’m not one to tell the story; the blurb & other reviewers will cover that, but I will concede that this magical, mystical, hauntingly beautiful story will stay with me for the longest time. Highly recommended.”~ Terry
