On Meg’s seventeenth birthday, she learns that she only has one year left to live. Her mentor—the Eternal Witch, Faust—explains that she is cursed and the only way to save herself is to grow a seed of life using one thousand tears of joy. Of course, such tears aren’t easy to come by. As Meg begins her quest, she finds herself drawn into the lives of her friends and neighbors in ways she never imagined. By sharing their burdens and using her magic to comfort them, she learns how precious those moments of connection can be even in the face of death.

This book is inspired by a conversation with my young grandson as he shared his fears and beliefs about witches. There are many signs (or symbols) that represent what people believe. By looking into our own hearts we discover the place where my sign and your sign touch. It is the place where fear is turned into love, and where we begin to understand what is true and what is not. Understanding what makes us different is an important step in recognizing how similar we are. Though written in the genre of a children's story book and inspired by actual conversations with a child, there is a tale to be told for the adults who face the challenges of understanding what is true, and what is not about religious differences.
