Hetty is determined to rescue her. The web of secrets begins to unravel and there are lives at risk. Can Hetty and Ben overcome their differences and save Renata, or are they just meddling in things they know too little about?

This love has translated into a rich relationship with nature and feeling Spirits presence in these lush and living entities. She has many favorite trees and consistently photographs them in an attempt to capture their beauty and their Spirit. It is her goal to have young people of all ages look at trees differentlyto see them as living and sensitive to their environment and to our interconnectedness and the interconnectedness of all things as a part of our spiritual journey. This book is written in a poetry format as a piece of childrens literature. It is the authors desire to share this perspective and to inspire the reader to look at the world differentlyto see the interconnectedness of all things and to feel the joy of Spirit in all of life.
