Imagine a life without joy, without peace, without hope. No positive emotions at all, but you get to watch the world around you live like normal. Now imagine finding out your ancestors are the reason for it!
Four-year-old Melanie Pratt looks into the wrong mirror one day, and the next fourteen years are spent in misery. Can her new friends help save her, before it's too late?
And can she help them, without ruining it all?
Honestly, this book came to me at an odd time. I was struggling with my mental illness a lot, and a friend of mine gave me some edibles to try. I ended up getting a little too high, and I had very vivid dreams that told me a lot about myself as a person. One of the dreams that stuck out to me the most was chasing a mirror that had stolen my happiness, and the rest of the story wrote itself from there. This book is very close to my heart, because I have been Melanie. I think we all have, at some point or another, in the sense that we're struggling to find that spark that shows us what living is.
LOVE this story! Very well written, great character development, and very eventful. Had me hooked from the start and I couldn't put it down! - Rue Tungate
