It is a cold home, the one in which Norma grows up, in which parents do not separate for quiet living and hugs can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Perhaps that is why, when Norma is away from her family, everything seems more beautiful to her. Like the summers spent at her grandparents’, in Stellata, a village where time seems to stand still and is made even more magical by Grandma Snow’s tales of a family of dreamers and psychics and the gypsy woman who marked their path. And then, also in Stellata, there is Elijah, a playmate and confidant. However, as childhood gives way to adolescence, Norma finds that she is afraid of her new feelings for Elijah and decides to break off their friendship. It will be many years before the two find each other again in London and their relationship turns into an adult and all-encompassing love, but fate is writing another page for her, a page that began in Starry and will end far away, in Brazil. Because dreams always have a price, and happiness is a gift that is won through hard work.
