Her wish carries her on a journey of good-willed giving and finally delivers her from the curse. In this fairy tale there is no prince, only happy friendships, and a princess who rightfully deserves them. Be is moving towards her age of independence too. She must learn to understand the madness of a farmholding mistress, the confusion of her mother who sleeps with the white farmowner, the stirrings of love for a young man of courage, and the impossibility of finding the peace of her childhood in a world where nothing is simple. This slender ninety-four page novella is thick with human emotion and deep with beautiful prose and expression.
Life is anything but simple for today's youth.
They need to see heros and heroines, who like them, must break new ground.
