Synopsis

Maya is a special 11-year-old girl. Diagnosed with scoliosis as a baby, she is still a spunky, impulsive dreamer who decides to meet with her mother, who has been separated from her earthly domain. Maya has never known her, but she soon finds out her mother is a Spirit Flora of the Earth. She comes to her in human form and takes Maya to a hidden place created by Mother Nature as the last refuge for forgotten spirits. There, Maya visits the Season Palace, Elements, and Mother Nature herself. While Maya faces great challenges, she adventures with the help of some old Russian folklore figures, as well as friends Snowy, Windy, and Frosty, the spirits of winter. Maya's life in Nimbus, the city of forgotten spirits, becomes an unexpected adventure where she finds herself in the middle of a great plot created by Spirit's great enemy, Almighty Time.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Albina Ramey was born in Ukraine in 1971. She grew up in the era of classicism and is an artist by nature with great influence of folk tales of Ukrainian and Russian authors such as a Gogol, Pushkin, and many more. She dreamed to be a restorer of antiquities. In 1989, as she finished high school, her life twisted in a different direction. After Ukraine declared its independence, the country fell into a hard and harsh economic depression. She, like many other young people of those times, sunk in life. There was no opportunity to work or continue education. To make a living, she took on many jobs in different fields but she felt like she could do so much more with her life. In 1998, her life took a turn as she got an opportunity to move to the United States, where she went to college to become a surgical technologist. Working as a caregiver of labor and delivery, and with the knowledge and influence of Slavic fairy-tales, she began to get a true appreciation of life in the way of birth and the miraculous force in a tiny baby's fight for survival, which Albina Ramey took as a starting point for this allegoric story. Learning about nature spawned the inspirational idea for a story in which a little girl named Maya's life in Nimbus, the city of forgotten spirits, becomes an unexpected adventure.
