After 27 years of marriage, nurturing, hard-working Sassy Hummel is unceremoniously dumped by her husband. To support herself, she turns to the one thing she knows best -- housekeeping -- taking a job as a maid at the sumptuous Sylvan Towers Hotel. How, Sassy wonders, could this have happened to me?Then something strange and magical happens to Sassy. She makes friends with Racquel, the hotel's boutique owner, an enticing woman with secrets and a clarity of vision for seeing all the things in Sassy that Sassy can't recognize herself. But it isn't until she takes a wayward parakeet under her own wing that Sassy begins to see the bird each person is on the other side of the mirror. Learning to look beneath everybody's adopted plumage will eventually enable Sassy to accept herself, and start her on the road to a new life.

Nancy Springer

Nancy Springer has published forty novels for adults, young adults and children. In a career beginning shortly after she graduated from Gettysburg College in 1970, Springer wrote for ten years in the imaginary realms of mythological fantasy, then ventured on to contemporary fantasy, magical realism, and women's fiction and suspense before turning her attention to children's literature.

Her novels and stories for middle-grade and young adults range from contemporary realism, mystery/crime, and fantasy to her critically acclaimed novels based on the Arthurian mythos, I Am Mordred: A Tale of Camelot and I Am Morgan Le Fay. Springer's children's books have won her two Edgar Allan Poe awards, a Carolyn W. Field award, various Children's Choice honors and numerous ALA Best Book listings.

Her most recent series include the Tales of Rowan Hood, featuring Robin Hood's daughter, and the Enola Holmes mysteries, starring the much younger sister of Sherlock Holmes.
