Maisie is special. Yes, she is blind, yes she's an orphan and yes, few know her roots. But inside, she sparkles, more than an angel, more than those majestic stars that layer the universe in glory. Some see this sparkle while others deny its existence and insist she is nothing more than a brat, one that even her own parents didn't want.

Maisie also has a secret. One she'd never share because if she did, she knew they'd lock her away in one of those places the others talked about - where all the weird people go.

Even Maisie doesn't understand it all, but knows that one day she'll meet the woman and the boy...those that she believes are part of her dreams, in a land where she can see, where colours are vibrant and the moon shines as bright as the sun.

What is the truth, and will Maisie ever find it?

I cannot ignore my dreams, so many of them, with names and places and ideas that spark my imagination and compel me to write; to create stories, whether fantasy or horror, or mystery or psychological thriller or murder or even humour and adventure. So, my garden is sown, flourishing, with all manner of growth, and still the dreams come. Julie Elizabeth Powell, my soul lingering within my imagination; maybe you'll join me? Author of 23 books in a variety of genres.
