The Girl on the Dock

[silentmusic0523]

Possibly the first true best-seller of the new media era…

“Returning to the home of her grandfather after her final school year, Petra Morganstern is a changed young witch. Confident in her recent choices, yet plagued by dreams of what they cost her, Petra is unsure what to do with the rest of her life. Petra’s one ray of hope is her young step-sister, Izabella, whose simple-minded charm is only offset by the awful Phyllis, her hateful mother. Desperate to protect Izabella from the increasing rages of Phyllis, Petra struggles to find balance between the forces that seek to rule her heart. Will she cling to the choices she has already made, upholding good over her own greatest desires, or will the ghost of power and revenge, always at work in the back room of her mind, be her final undoing? As things spiral out of control, Petra finds herself confronted with the unforgiving force of destiny, thrusting her into the ultimate choice one more time. Only this time, no one will be there to save the day. This time, the choice will be Petra’s alone.”

An amazing book that accomplishes so much in so little time. I highly encourage everyone to give this unknown author a chance and pick up this book.

This is actually the second original work by this author. His first, "Flyover Country" was also a delightful fantasy novella.

I have recently finished The Girl on the Dock and found it to be a well written, tight little story. In some ways, it is a character study; we learn who this girl is and mostly importantly, why.....and what in the world is she going to do about it?

A short book but with much depth, I recommend it for readers who enjoy fantasy of any kind.
