Publisher's Synopsis
"We all have one foot in a fairy tale and the other in the abyss."
-Paulo Coelho
In her autobiography of anecdotal tales, Karla La'kay constructs a grand fairytale of self-discovery, healing, the psyche's metamorphosis and the author's life journey over time; exploring the shadow, light, and raw fairytale material in reality. The bleak and joyous personal experiences of this young writer, once confined to journal pages, are transformed into a storybook for the disenchanted adult and the unexpressed inner child.
Direct from the author's personal thoughts, feelings and experiences springs a hope readers may find comfort, amusement, entertainment, or simply the means to bring light to the fairytale elements of their own life story. From the totem frog to prince, La'kay's brutally honest debut recognizes the dark origins and charming unfoldment of a real fairytale experience.
