Early readers and listeners have compared this unconventional fairy tale to such novels as The Last Unicorn, The Alchemist, The Princess Bride, and The Once and Future King. This offbeat debut novel, written and narrated by multi-media artist Suzie Plakson, is an allegorical saga full of comedy, calamity, and a host of unforgettable characters. Most of the tale is told by Lillian herself as she chronicles her extraordinary adventures.
Undaunted, the spirited, self-reliant young woman sets off into the unknown, determined to rediscover her long lost self and to reclaim her stolen birthright. The trouble is, when Lillian steps out of the Forest, she has no memory of who she is or from whence she hails. When she comes of age, she is called by Destiny to return home. When Lillian, the one and only heir to the throne, is cast out of her kingdom by malevolent forces, she accidentally wanders into the Forest of Forgetfullness, where she is rescued by wolves and raised by an eccentric old wise woman. "A whimsical and philosophical fairy tale for the modern age." 2019 Pinnacle Book Achievement Award WinnerĢ019 Independent Author Book of the Year Award Winner
