This book is about the human need for attachment: to be truly seen, touched, felt, sensed, nourished, valued, celebrated, and loved to the very core of one's being, beyond mere appearances.

Included in the book are two versions of the same theme: the search for the true self. The first version, "A Woman's Reflection", is an essay addressed to adult women. The second, "The Enchanted Mirror", is a child's fairy tale with Serena, the child protagonist setting forth on a metaphorical, fantasy journey. Though Serena is a child, she is really an ageless, timeless soul in search of its truth and beauty.
