Into The Woods

The story opens with two parents who are so in love that even the birth of their three daughters can not tap into their world. Twelve-year-old Storm is surprised when her 16-year-old sister announces that their mother, Zella, is pregnant. Poor Zella dies soon after giving birth, and their father, so involved in his own grief, is oblivious to his children. When asked what the new child’s name should be, he replies, “Anything.” Anything is no ordinary child, but then neither are the wild and tempermental Storm or their older sister, Aurora, whose position in the family encourages her obsession with neatness, education and cooking.
