Rarity from the Hallow review

Rarity From the Hallow
BY: Robert Eggleton



This was a little different then most the books I review,  it is a children's story meant for adults.  If you like a non-fiction titles with a bit of biography (because its telling the life of Lucy.) this is your choice. Written by a retired children's psychotherapist  you can guess the book is different then anything you've read before.

it's about:


Lacy Dawn who is a little girl who lives in a magical forest where all the trees love her and she has a space alien friend who adores her and wants to make her queen of the universe. What’s more, all the boys admire her for her beauty and brains. Mommy is very beautiful and Daddy is very smart, and Daddy’s boss loves them all.

Except.

Lacy Dawn, the eleven year old protagonist, perches precariously between the psychosis of childhood and the multiple neuroses of adolescence, buffeted by powerful gusts of budding sexuality and infused with a yearning to escape the grim and brutal life of a rural Appalachian existence. In this world, Daddy is a drunk with severe PTSD, and Mommy is an insecure wraith. The boss is a dodgy lecher, not above leering at the flat chest of an eleven-year-old girl.

Plus a semi-organic semi-robot gives her a chance to save the world.


Yes, all in one book.

It is a children's story for adults with a happily ever after ending.
