The Secret of the Swans

About the Book

This is an enchanting tale of two siblings who must stay a weekend at their grandparents’ home without their mother. The car ride to the countryside carries the children’s tearful apprehension as well as their over-packed suitcases. But with a wink in the rearview mirror, their mother assures them: “Open your hearts to wonder; You never know what you’ll find. You won’t even have to look too hard For magic I left behind.” Indeed she had left something behind … a world of spectacular imagination from her youthful spirit. Even at bedtime, the children relive the dreams she used to have. But were they dreams? Or were they reincarnations of their mother’s real childhood adventures? While in their grandparents’ care, their hearts are opened to the old-fashioned wonders of swans and glowing fireflies, bait-less fishing, dress-up parties, cooking, horseback riding, apple picking, raking leaves, and quiet nights in their tree swing. More tears flow by the end of the weekend. But this time, it’s because the children do not want to leave the magical farm. They come to a touching conclusion about staying with their grandparents. To embark on this thrilling conquest of separation anxiety, read the book!
