A Long-Lost Treasure: A Family Tale Revived
Twenty years ago, when my daughters were just 7 and 5, we sat together and created a magical story called The Land of Old Doors. It was an adventure filled with wonder, mystery, and laughter—everything you’d imagine in a tale dreamed up by kids with boundless imaginations. Life moved on, and the rough draft of our story was tucked away and nearly forgotten.
Recently, I stumbled upon that draft, and the memories of those storytelling sessions came flooding back. Reading through it again, I realized this wasn’t just a treasured keepsake for our family. It’s a story that deserves to be shared with the world.
The Story: A Magical World Hidden in Plain Sight
The Land of Old Doors follows the adventures of two sisters, Macklin and Sindee, who discover a magical world hidden in their own backyard. This world, filled with strange doors leading to new realms, is full of excitement, challenges, and unexpected friendships. Each door holds a new mystery, and the sisters must rely on their courage, wit, and love for each other to navigate the trials ahead.
It’s a tale of exploration, sisterhood, and the extraordinary that can be found in the ordinary—perfect for children, families, and anyone who loves a good dose of whimsy and adventure.
Why This Project Matters
Revisiting this story isn’t just about nostalgia—it’s about creating something lasting. I want to publish The Land of Old Doors as a gift to my daughters, for my future grandkids, and for a general audience that will delight in this enchanting tale.
