SYNOPSIS:

Inspired by the French medieval tale Valentine and Orson, this moving, insightful novella from award winning author Marly Youmans reclaims a 500-year-old epic for contemporary readers. And through the dazzling double-story of a stolen twin and the secrets of an ancient forest, it roams also among the sweet spirits of Shakespeare's romance plays . . .
