Maple is looking forward to the arrival of her new baby sister. She loves baking and singing with her mother and loves to hear stories of the Wise Woman - a rock like formation said to grant miracles. When Lily comes too early and her life is in danger because her heart is not working properly, Maple is determined to go to the Wise Woman and bring back the healing water to cure Lily. Her bossy big sister, Dawn, accompanies her and the perils they encounter are numerous, frightening, and life-threatening. This happy ever after story stresses the importance of believing in something bigger than ourselves; the presence of miracles in daily life, and the all-powerful bond of family.
