The world could do with a little more kindness and positivity and
random acts of singing, don't you think?
Dear Reader, My name is Penelope, and while I may not be a real-life
princess, I've been told I possess a certain fairy-tale heroine quality.
I wield optimism as my weapon of choice, don amazing shoes and vintage
hats whenever possible, and speak in musical references. All of which
perfectly qualifies me to succeed in my new role as a marketing intern
at the historic Darling House theater on the island of Skymar.
Only . . . it seems this internship position is going to be a LOT bigger
than I thought. The Gray family, who owns the theater, has been stuck in
a rut of darkness ever since the loss of their matriarchs. Now all
that's left is a dying theater, a reclusive grandfather, three siblings,
and an adorable seven-year-old girl who desperately needs some
pixie-dust magic.
So that's what this story is about. My plans to save the theater! (Plans
that, somehow, keep being stolen by a local competitor.) And an
anonymous online theater troupe. And two single brothers who may be
vying for this American girl's heart . . . until they're not (or maybe
they just want me for my ideas too). And a dream job offer that will
require me to make a truly heart-wrenching decision. I may not excel at
finishing stories, but I promise to see this one through to its happily
ever after.
Positively,
Penelope
