Where the Forest Meets the Stars
來自星星的奇蹟
Author Glendy Vanderah has had a passion for animals since she was a child. Like Jo, Glendy researched birds at university. But Where the Forest Meets the Stars is far deeper than a simple story about birds.
At first, it is difficult to connect with Jo. Her pain is too deep. But as we turn the pages, we meet Ursa, a special child with a thirst for knowledge. We watch Ursa peel away the layers of Jo’s and Gabe’s troubled souls.
作者葛蘭蒂．范德拉自幼便熱愛動物。葛蘭蒂和喬一樣，在大學時都研究鳥類。但《來自星星的奇蹟》遠比一則簡單的鳥類故事來得深入。
一開始，要與喬產生連結是很難的。她的痛苦太深刻了。但當我們繼續翻閱時，我們遇見了珥莎，一個有求知慾的特別孩子。我們看著珥莎將喬及嘉布瑞深受折磨的靈魂層層剝開。
