Introduction: The timid daughter of some of the greatest spellcasters ever to have lived has found herself in another world, courtesy of magic gone awry. In Boston, Massachusetts, in the year 1935, she finds some kind souls in a hard era. In the heart of the Great Depression, as war looms around the corner, she seeks to find her place, and must come to terms with both who she is and what she truly desires. Author''s Notes:This story is "complete," but I learned a great deal in the writing of it and feel it needs a massive overhaul. One day, I''d like to do so, but considering it''s been years, probably not anytime soon. I''d originally wanted to do a second book, but my list of stories that I want to write is pretty extensive, so I''m not sure when, or even if, I''ll do so.Audience: This story is not for children - it contains some profanity, explicit sexual content, violence, gore, and significant adult themes. Most of these are handled delicately enough not to upset teens or adults (hopefully), as well as the graphic sexual content being skippable, hence the lack of relevant tags, but it is nonetheless unsuitable for youth. It''s fairly slow paced, and focused on the development of very human, very flawed individuals.Draft 1: Please be aware that this is first draft material. I do intend to eventually rework the whole thing, as mentioned above. If anyone notices any issues whatsoever with the story, please let me know (comments, dm, etc) so that I can improve the next version.Writer''s Pledge: I''ve taken the Writer''s Pledge, meaning I had committed to completing this story. Which I have done! :DBehind the Scenes notes:This picture was commissioned from an inked artist by the name of DanP.Up until the time of the protagonist''s arrival, history has proceeded as before. Some places and characters have been borrowed from wikipedia entries of interesting figures from the time. I will make note in the chapter comments when such things come up. Naturally, I''ve taken a great deal of liberty with them.In interest of respecting individuals, I''ve either attempted to portray them as accurately as possible, or modified them sufficiently enough that they''re simply an inspiration, instead of a real portrayal. I''ve attempted to be as accurate to the era as possible, but I''m not a historian. If you''re aware of inaccuracies, please, bring them to my attention so that I can correct them....
