The Spirit of the Water Rose

Nine year old Eloise Joy has always been an upbeat, outgoing person. She has never really liked revealing her feelings and emotions to others, so she often would just bury them inside until she finally let it all out at once. The most recent thing that has been bugging her is the fact that her father works all the time. Tyler Joy (Eloise's father) was a writer and insisted that traveling all over the world would help him write and inspire him. Eloise felt that he never had time to spend with her, her birthday was coming soon and she was hoping that he would show her he really cared and actually stay home to celebrate.
