The Golden Leaf

A Wonderful Fairy Tale...

"Joycee held her breath as she heard the sound of the horse's hoofs approaching where she lay hidden in the niche of the Might Tree. She waited anxiously praying that her wish had been granted by the "Golden Leaf".

This is a wonderful love story.

It gives hope and excitement to our younger generation, but it also sparks the faith of our older generation.

So many great symbols and a lot of messages that allow the imagination to be fed. The author leaves you with a message that “when you have a pure heart, your desires and dreams can come true”. Such Great Hope For Today.
