The Girl
Aylee Garrow is nothing more than a shop-keeper's daughter in a nameless coastal town. Kind, thoughtful, and recovering from a broken heart, she yearns for a life she may never have. She would do just about anything to make her parents happy, including perhaps, living a life she doesn't want.
The Stranger.
One brisk autumn morning, Aylee stumbles upon a startling finding-- a naked man hiding in her father's store room. Against her better judgement, she offers to help Cailean-an outsider, lost, confused, and very much out of place. Cailean has more than a few secrets, but for reasons Aylee can't quite explain, the two strike up a quick friendship.
The Peril
Cailean has lost a very valuable item-one that may mean the difference between life and death. As Aylee and Cailean search for answers, they call on friends and enemies alike in the hope of avoiding tragedy. In the process, Aylee must confront danger in many forms-both human and fey-all while learning just as much about herself as the mysterious people and creatures surrounding her. What will she choose for herself in the end, and who will she lose as she fights for her new friend and her own future?
Steeped in Celtic folklore, A Simple Tale of Water and Weeping is a timeless tale sure to bring a smile to your heart and possibly a tear to your eye. It is a magical story of love, friendship, and accepting not only ourselves, but also those around us.
This new deluxe paperback edition contains never before seen artwork and the complete follow up novella, A Simple Tale of Tides and Longing.
