Until now there was never magic in Margarete's existence. All her life she'd lived in 19th century Germany, with two loving parents, a wonderful sister named Matilda, and two German Shepherds she adored. Margarete was comfortable but bored. So it was now that she made her fateful decision: to sail aboard a schooner-ship, completely alone, and into the new world of early America. When, on the wide-open sea, a mysterious man arrives in her life, Margarete all at once discovers magic in the most unexpected of places. And then an even more mysterious creature comes: a creature smelling sweetly of vanilla and leaving glitter-dust in its wake. It is only now that Margarete chooses once and for all to meet head-on the great future awaiting her ... if only she survives the trek across this new and wild land of the free.
