This was a really quick read-I read it while I was on my lunch break.  This is the story of Erik, a boy whose mother died giving birth to him.  She asks her husband Ben to forgive her as she's dying and Ben believes that Erik is not his son as Erik has this blond hair that gets whiter the older he gets, but Ben does raise Erik and loves him unconditionally.  One day Erik builds a snow owl in the backyard and Ben notices that each night the details get more developed on the snow owl.  Erik tells his dad that real snow owls come each night and sculpt more of the owl and that when the owl is completed he will take Erik to a place called Lukana as Erik is supposed to be the lost prince of Lukana.  The thought of losing his son scares Ben and he contemplates destroying the snow owl but he can't destroy it as it would hurt Erik as well.  I won't give away any more of this story because it would contain spoilers.This was such a sweet story of the love a father has for his son and I really enjoyed this quick read.  I would maybe like to read more about Lukana or possibly the story of how the mother came to be pregnant with Erik.  I will be on the lookout for more from this author.At the time I downloaded this ebook to my kindle it was being offered for free in the kindle book store, which in no way affected my review of this short story.
