    About this ebook

    One perfect morning on the water, author Mary Anne Smrz is greeted by loud trumpeting calls of the Sand Hill Cranes and a twanging bullfrog. Then a chance encounter with a Damselfly leaves the insect shaken. The Damselfly's struggle leaves Mary Anne to face her own truth and a personal challenge about honesty.
