Hope, love, and determination are everlasting traits in Noona’s character who risks unknown challenges to remove a curse that affected her parents and every member of the community. Her quest, based upon undying loyalty to others, serves as an inspiration to those in the book and those of us – the reader. Secrets, to be revealed; mysteries, understood; wisdom, learned; knowledge, acquired; and, courage, applied for the restoration of being fully human in a joyous town. This is a charming story for all ages; everyone will engage in the thoughtfully developed heroine’s mission that parallels the archetypal themes and roles as highlighted in Joseph Campbell’s writings about the journey of personal transformation and its impact upon others.
