The Girl Who Wasn't Ordinary

Heidi Henken has written a gay-friendly fairy tale and fable for children and adults alike. Raised to believe she is Ordinary by an angry troll who stole her as a baby from her true family, Princess Heartsong learns the truth from a little bird at her window. Guided by the rainbow-feathered bird, a Silver Elf and a Golden Fairy, the princess sets out to find her way home. Along the way she meets a Middle-of-the-Road Man, the Queen of the Inn Between, a theatrical ally known as The Dresser, and more, as her travels take her through the towns of Here and There, divided by attitude and red tape, the village of the Sameasyous, to a journey along the Side Track and a stop on the Wrong Track. But Princess Heartsong learns she can’t finally go home until she finds a way to heal the rainbow, which was broken on the day she was stolen. Only by conquering this final challenge does Princess Heartsong find her true identity and join her family at last.
