The Family Tree: The Secret Door

By Jean A. Vanderlinden

What could it be in The Secret Door in the house of The Family Tree? Two curious boys surely would love to see. Soon they are wisked back to the magical land, why did they turn that key. Oh my where could they be? The ground sparkled like a million fire flies landed to take a rest. The air smelled sweet like watermellon on a summers day. Vines of jewels and trees with the golden nuggets dot the land. We're back, back to the magical land. What sacrifice will they make or lessons to learn when they see the blue moon.

It is a beautiful life where the best gifts are unexpected and savored. I would like to thank my family for all their love and patience. They have enriched my soul with many memories that I treasure so deeply. I would like to thank all my friends for their support and encouragement. I am delighted by their sense of humor it is truly amazing. Even more is their compassion for a friend in need. That is when I could see my angels more clearly. I have had the wonderful gift of having Louis Ruesh’s meticulous editing and time. My hope is for young people to realize the importance of family.
