I had the pleasure of being in writing workshop with Dawn a very talented writer, and I am inspired by her beautiful book. One of the best I've read in a long time. You will be swept away into the "beautiful dream" (as John Gardner says) right from page 1. In a world where people are not yet equal though some are brave enough to fight to be, you will be wrapped up in the story of Bertie, Guerine, Doodle and Ina and won't want to leave.
