Born in a Red Canoe - Paperback

by Katharine Helen Johnson (Author)

At the moment a blazing comet flies overhead, Purslane is born. And her mother dies.

Purlane's father is enraged when she shows no sign of a mystical ability gifted by the comet. Desolate, he sells her to a farmer. Purslane escapes and embarks on a perilous quest to find her mother's family. On her journey, she discovers the mysteries surrounding her birth, and that her name is really Luna.

When she uncovers the abandoned red canoe, it-as if guided by unseen powers-propels her to the safely of Huldor's Inn. There Luna finds a loving home until...

Lady Magda arrives with Selene -Luna's twin. Lady Magda enchants Luna with exciting promises of travel and telling fortunes! The lure to be with her long-lost sister is tempting. Should she go? Or stay where she has found a home?
