About this Story

Dear friend, 
My name is  Marie. Marie Winifred Cadburry. I am almost four years old. Leap day February 29th will be my fourth (or sixteenth) birthday, the day that will determine my future.

I suppose I should explain a little. My mother, Lilly Cadburry, (See below photo) tragically passed away. I was one at the time.(Four, technically.) It was very sad, and though I barely remember her, I miss her so.  This is the story of how I let go of my previous sorrows and start fresh. It is not easy. I do hope you enjoy it. 
This is me.


-Marie


Summary:
Marie Cadburry's life will never be perfect, and she knows it. After losing her mother to war, being bullied at school, and failing grade nine, she begins to lose her momentum to live. Then, the mysterious Smog comes. She is a demon, yet an angel, a storm, yet the sunshine, Thunder, yet a cottony cloud, this, yet that as well. She gives Marie a candle, shaped like a heart, claiming it is the most important thing in the world. Marie, though unsure, accepts the gift and soon, things change. Some for the better, some for the worse. This story is one of meaning and depth, of discovering who you are and seeing hope in the darkest scenarios. It is one of magic and mystery. It is one that may change you.
