This book was inspired one day as my daughter was waking up from one of the surgeries she had undergone.

Julianna, my daughter, loves princess stories but that day, there were none.

There were no castles and no fairy-tale beginnings. There was only a mother praying for a swift recovery and a daughter full of love who, with her beautifully radiant smile, inspired the book you are about to read.

I invite you to open this book and join my daughter, me, and the characters in this story as we search for the star that lives within each of us. Once again, I pray and hope that you, too, will find your own light.
