Many years before, Jack is feeling lonely too. But his life changes when he's taken in by a theatre troupe and learns the secrets of the mysterious people behind the acts.
And many years before that, Araine is also struggling, with a life that doesn't look anything like she thought it would. A meagre existence where it seems like rich people, with their evenings out at the theatre, don't have a thing to worry about.
When you're feeling alone it can be hard to see the light.
But even though they live YEARS apart, Hettie, Jack and Araine are connected in ways they never imagined.

A magical story full of ghosts, theatre, friendship and family - and featuring disabled heroes.
