Here are a few things you may want to know before you get started.
The Forgotten Dream is a trilogy. Birth of a Wishing Heart (BOWH) is the first book in the series.
This book is designed to bring out deep thought about adult concepts such as mortality and morality while keeping a fairytale and child-like theme.
The key to really enjoy this book is to remember that every good story hints at truth.While you re-explore things you loved as a child like princesses, superheroes, and fairytales ask yourself
Does innocence and free will exist?
What is the exact curse and gift of humanity?
And what do fear and pain turn into after it's forgotten?
While you read, try to find your truths in between the fantasy.
