The Princess Who Sang Like a Frog and Other Tales of Love - Paperback

Things are not what they may seem;

A nightmare may become a dream.

Night is Day and Slow is Swift;

What seems a curse may be a gift.

In the title story, "The Princess Who Sang Like a Frog," a princess leaves her home after a public humiliation, certain she does not deserve happiness. Armed only with poetry and music, she ventures into the unknown to seek the mystery of her unusual identity. As she travels, she encounters wise teachers who encourage her to see her troubled past in a new light. By the end of her journey, she discovers a profound truth which will guide her for the rest of her life.
