Emali, girl of the new moon

Wherever Emily Star settles, her gaze turns to the sky searching for a passing cloud, a smiling sun, a star shimmering with hope, a new moon reminding her of the thrill of beginnings and the renewal of life's flavor. The girl grew up in the embrace of her gentle father, then fate willed to take her to the New Moon farm where she would start a new life among the Murray family. There, Emily would accompany her in early childhood discoveries, discoveries that scratched her innocence and deprived her world of some of its colors; but Emily refused to let them go without writing, for she had no weapon other than that to mend her heart and resist the weight of her loneliness. Writing is her refuge, her lifeline, her artery of life. How could she, without writing, talk about her wonderful adventures with her friends who gave her life in "the New Moon" meaning and sparkle? And how could she, without her poetry, describe what her eyes absorbed from the magic of the vast universe? And how could she, without her pen, address her parents, breaking the rules of time and space, life and death? That is Emily, a girl who breaks the norm, boldly voices her opinions, refuses to bow to injustice, and does not apologize for who she is. The world addresses Emily, and she responds to the call, shaping it in her hands until words turn into writing on every piece of paper she finds, piling up stories and poems, paving her way toward a promising literary journey.
