Beskrivelse
Amaris, the Moon Child is a combination of two books, Happenstance, and Amaris, the Moon Child.
Happenstance is a delightful fairy tale about fortune and misfortune. The story beings with the sibling birth of twins, one being St. Nicholas, a.k.a. Santa Claus. Through a twist of fate, the twin
siblings are separated at birth. Fortune rests on St. Nicholas as he is raised by his loving father and learns the value of giving. His father, a master carpenter, teaches St. Nick the contagious power of giving, how to build and fix broken things, the profit of hard work and the benefits of loving others more than yourself.
Amaris, the Moon Child begins with the solitary life of Amaris, the separated twin brother of St. Nick stolen at birth through trickery of a very bad witch. Amaris's life was not loving or fruitful. So, Amaris learns to survive rather than thrive under the direction of a cold and selfish stepmother.
When Amaris was twelve years old, he grew feathers just like his brother St. Nick. This rather odd condition allows him to fly! Since he needs to molt to grow new feathers, he must live in a very cold climate. His stepmother selected Mount Hermon's chilly mountain air since it offered the perfect environment and allowed Amaris a place to fly in isolation without any human interaction.
After his stepmother's death, Amaris discovers a handwritten note scribbled by her explaining
how, through trickery, she stole him at birth from his natural parents and that he actually has a twin brother!
Alone, abandoned, and isolated, Amaris decides to take a chance and seek his brother, hoping a
reunion will bring a sense of belonging and bring meaning to his life.
This story takes the reader on a wild journey through the perilous desert, where Amaris
encounters desert creatures and a little girl named Ruth. Ruth teaches Amaris not all humans are harmful and even gives him a clue on his twin brother's whereabouts.
The story is about redemption. The reader will learn through Amaris's trials that although our
past does affect us, it does not have to define us. We can rise above our current circumstances and find fulfillment and a place of belonging. The reader learns a brighter tomorrow awaits us if we will let go of our inner fears
