Summary:

This novel begins as a coming of age story set in a time of war and its aftermath. Interaction with a dramatically changed Arda reveals new challenges for beloved canon characters. Their stories are not recounted with ponderous reverence, but with humor and sympathy for individuals who are flawed, passionate, funny, and conflicted. This is not one's standard Eomer/Lothiriel formula romance. (Awards: 2006 MEFA Second Place, Romance-Incomplete; 2012 First Place, WIP The Tree and Flower Awards)
