This book will take you on a journey into the beauty of nature as you reflect on life, death and rebirth through Anna's imaginary world of the secret pond. The reader is plunged into the drama played out below the surface - avalanches, earthquakes and a mini apocalypse! Grieving the death of her grandma, Anna finds spiritual comfort in the turbulent world of central pond characters Norris Newt, Tom Toad, Bovis Beetle and, in particular, the mysterious connection between her grandma's death and the metamorphosis of Della the dragonfly. Boundaries of imagination and reality blur as Anna becomes cocooned in her fantasy world where time no longer exists and death becomes the gateway to new life. The words and the illustrations, painted by author Sally, blend to create a soothing escape for young people and adults facing the emotional trials of life. Reflections On A Secret Pond is a work of fantasy fiction, inspired by Jonathan Livingston Seagull. "The author, Richard Bach, changed my life - I'd like to believe my book will do the same for others," says Sally. Based on personal experience, the book is aimed at anyone who has suffered a sudden bereavement and is looking for answers.
