The Girl with Sad Green Eyes

Not your average fairy tale. A girl fleeing abuse at home finds love from an unexpected source within the fairy woods that surround her home. In confronting the evil that has come against her she is faced with a choice to forgive her abusers or to hold onto her pain and hurt.I am speechless! Absolutely incredible! The Girl with Sad Green Eyes has to be read to be believed! - James R. Well written, rich, detailed, resonant, emotionally spot-on writing. Mr. Wanaselja has an exquisite touch with the ability to put his characters empathically on the page. And that too in verse! Well done. The Girl with Sad Green Eyes brought tears to my eyes. - Jenny W. Beautifully written story tugging at the heartstrings of the reader, leading from total darkness and despair to light, love and forgiveness. I loved that Mr. Wanaselja chose to tell the story in this haunting emotional poem version. Highly stared. - Elke B. As I read The Girl with Sad Green Eyes, I couldn't help but see a direct correlation between our own need to be forgiven and to forgive. Mr. Wanaselja's story moves the soul with its sad and desperate beginning, but it ends with "bright eyes" that have witnessed sacrifice and have found forgiveness and ultimately-life . I absolutely loved the message of this story, and because it was written so poetically, I was all the more impressed. Six stars! - Dianna L. From sad to bright, what a poignant poem. Unicorns, centaurs, ogres, naiads and dryads, make this mournful tail dazzle. It's a fairy tale with a taste of heaven. Beautifully written. - CMTS I am not a lover of verse, however I found this hauntingly beautiful with language which really does sing beautifully from the page. - Annabelle X
