(2) YA The Celtic legend about the children of Lir, turned into swans by their stepmother (named Rhiamon here), provides the motif for this picaresque saga. Contrary to legend, Gwenore, Rhiamon's daughter, rescues the children, but most of the book concerns Gwenore's journey to self-discovery after escaping a bad home situation. Fans will enjoy exploring Thesman's trademark communities of nurturing, self-reliant women.
