“Just this once…please, let me stay. Please, let this be real. Let me be normal, even if it’s only while I sleep. Let me have this house, this life. Let my father and I live here and let me have friends who aren’t paid to stay by my side. Or, if you prefer, let me just stay alone here. I don’t even have to be normal. Please, all I ask is that you let me stay. I only feel right when I am here and I am so tired of feeling wrong. Please…” Iris felt her calm pleading turn into true begging, something she had never done before no matter how much this dream and this impossible life had been the object of her confused mind’s obsession when she slept.

Closing her eyes she reached for the doorknob again, trying to turn it slowly this time. She held her breath for a long moment before she realized it still wouldn’t move. It would never open. Looking at her hand, she suddenly realized that the doorknob was gone; in its place was a cold, hard, golden feather that was so heavy that it weighed her hand down, but she couldn’t let go. Iris stared down at the strange golden feather, and suddenly felt everything around her shift and fade until the feather was all that was left and the world around her was nothing more than a white vacuum—as plain as a blank piece of paper.

“It is gone. It is all…gone.”




Book Description
Somewhere between falling and flying… there is a girl.

Iris has a secret. She lost her memory eight years ago and never told a living soul. After an asthma attack one night she finds out that her dreams of a strange house on a snowy island may be a memory resurfacing but the more she learns about the past the more she realizes the life she has been living is a lie. As the façade her father has built starts to crumble around her she will have to decide which means more to her; the truth or her life.

About the Author
Emma Michaels is the author of the ‘A Sense of Truth’ and ‘Society of Feathers’ series. Her goal with her latest YA novel ‘Owlet’ is to give others what she did not have growing up; a strong female protagonist with asthma. While her previous aspiration was to be a lady knight she realized that not being able to run more than a few feet might become a hindrance so turned to writing instead. Her day jobs include being a cover artist, marketing consultant and silk screen designer.

As the founder of The Writers Voice blog (http://OurBooksOurVoice.Blogspot.com) she loves to connect authors and readers. As a book blogger turned author, she was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, until she moved at eighteen to Washington State. Suddenly, the world was a new place filled with tall green trees that reached further for the sky with every moment, making her want to do the same. Ever since, she has tried to make her life something new and different from what it was before, pursuing her future career, setting high goals and reaching for them. With the support of her fiancé, Chihuahua, and her amazing blog followers and fellow bloggers, she wants to prove to the world that anything is possible and help inspire fellow literary lovers to reach for their dreams.
