This collection of short stories follows the development of a writing style as its author grows from an eight-year-old penning undeveloped princess tales to a young lady writing allegories to communicate heartbreak. Each story contrasts the next and shows how drastically a plot can develop and themes can deepen when one loses their childhood innocence too early. Come laugh, cry, and find something of intrigue. Above all, however, come find something that outlasts the printed word.
