About The Girl Who Watched for Elves:
There are hidden treasures in every life.
Divorce is a traumatic occurrence in a child's life. Add in an evil stepmother and a passive, turn-his-head-the-other-way father and you've got a waking nightmare. That's the childhood a young woman relives as she spends an afternoon with a tarot reader. Caught in a web of past memories, she remembers how she turned to fairy tales for hope, "The Elves and The Shoemaker" in particular.

In her deepest heart, "The Girl Who Watched for Elves" yearns to love and trust herself. Her poignant journey--and determined search for a Happily Ever After in the real world--is a story of awakening to life's magic.
