Meet Maria: a sensitive and spirited little girl living in the harbor town Ferrysville on Matter Island. Here, she discovers the world from her hideaway in a beloved apple tree, watchfully studying the humble setting, inhabited by hard-working fishermen and farmers: a down-to-earth and jovial people praising practicality and prudence.
One summer, some city folks move to the village: vibrant single mother Helen, a small boy Jay and his pre-teen sister. Maria and Jay fast become best friends. As good as inseparable, the two of them form an affectionate alliance of profound depth.
Alas, the newcomers unexpectedly leave. During a disturbing incident shortly after her loss, the imaginative girl encounters a new friend and ally named Ray.
- the boy is precocious and softhearted like Jay, yet strangely elusive...
In this timeless tale, we follow our jumpy but resourceful heroine's rocky journey through her childhood years. Join the intuitive introvert as she grapples with family life and school troubles, haunting night terrors, belittling and bullying, lightened by tiny glimmers of magic.
All the while and always she wonders: will my first love ever return?
The author's voice is childlike and tender, the narrative warm, deep and thoughtful: an enjoyable read for sensitive souls of all ages!
