Locket is an allegory, reminiscent of Richard Bach�s Jonathan Livingston Seagull and Antoine de Saint-Exup�ry�s The Little Prince�two marvelous tales reaching adult and child alike. Locket is set in the Middle Ages�which turns out to have been a world, while less advanced, differing not much from our own. The book vividly portrays the emotional impact divorce has on a Little Princess whose world is shattered by it; what she does to survive that; and the ensuing path she takes to find a fuller and happier adult life.

There are no villains in Locket, only unintended circumstances that spin a tragic web�a web that, in time, turns a well-loved and loving child into a beautiful woman; but one whose heart is frozen hard by the fear and guilt brought on by her parents� separation. How that change comes to pass makes for an unexpected and compelling ending.
