This is a wonderful, heartwarming story about a woman who struggles to find true happiness for many years until she learns to follow her dreams, bring her community together, and fight to save the sacred beauty of a magical oak tree. My favorite part of this story is the fairytale Pearl writes about a magical healer who lives in an enchanted forest, and how that fictional story parallels her own life. I highlighted several passages reading this novel, but my absolute favorite which really captures the feel of the story is this: "Pearl's story would be about the people that were always behind the princes and princesses, the wings that kept the fairies afloat, and the force that pulled the sun up every morning and the moon at night. To Pearl, that is where the real story begun."
