Synopsis:
We all have stories, worlds we create from our love and laughter, our hatred and fear. Some of us simply visit them in our own imaginations, while others write them down and invite others to live there for a while. But what if the writer had special magic all her own?
Grief-stricken and left alone to raise her young daughter when her husband suddenly passes, author and mother Piper Wolfe falls into a state of depression, but with the help of a dear friend, she finds solace in the creation of a fairy garden at the pond behind her house―a house she thought she would always share with the love of her life.
Pouring all her love and longing into that beautiful fairy realm, she slowly heals and finds her way back to life and laughter. Imagine her surprise when, on the anniversary of her greatest loss, she learns that this new world she envisioned is just as real, just as alive, as the one she's always known. And that she is its creator.
Now, as a great evil threatens the garden, and all the magical creatures who call it home, Piper must learn to embrace her own magic, come face to face with the dark corners of her own unwritten fairy tale, and with the help of her oldest friend, save Piper's Pond....
