Synopsis: Rescue My Heart
13-year old Anna is closed off to the world. After her mother died two years ago, she has buried herself in the world of her books, desiring to escape as much as possible from the real world.
Now Anna lives in the world of her books. She and her father hardly talk or even notice each other at all, so she is very surprised to hear that they will be relocating to a tiny house in the country.
But once there, she is inspired by the beauty of the place to start another story. This story is about a princess who is held captive by an evil prince. Anna becomes even more engrossed in this story than ones she has written in the past, so that she basically lives, breathes, and sleeps it. And one day, she begins to cry as she is writing the scene where the princess is captured by the evil prince.
Instantly, she is transported into the world she created. She is ecstatic - she had always dreamed of escaping into her own story! Yet things are not going very well in her story. None of her characters knows who she is... except the villain. And he wants her to write him into the hero of the story. Can she escape his schemes and save her book from going out of control?
And who will rescue her?
Excerpt: Rescue My Heart
Anna looked up from her writing, teary-eyed. Her heart was pounding, and she knew she was walking on dreaded ground. This was where she needed to stop, before she began feeling the pain she knew was buried deep inside. This story, like all the other ones, was starting to tug too hard at her heartstrings. What if it made them break? She had thought that she was safe, but somehow, someway her story had twisted itself around to fit her heart. Dare she go further?
She set her teeth. She would close the book, and forget about it and her characters. After all, they were only figments of her imagination… their story wasn’t important. She could just close the book and bury it, just like she had done with all her other books which had come to this point. She would bury it deep, just like she had done with her mother’s death. That way she could still function. There would be no pain.
But when she glanced back at the page, Anna’s heart melted at the princess’ last words. “Will no one rescue me?”
Anna sighed deeply and scrunched her eyes shut. She knew she had to move on. Even though she hated the thought of having to expose her heart. Her story deserved to be written. Even if it hurt. There was no backing away from the pain now.
Anna opened her eyes slowly, willing her heart to stop its frantic beating. Then she took a deep breath, and set pen to paper. As she did so, the tear that had been held back in her eyes slid down her cheek. It dripped onto the page, right onto the word “rescue”.
And before she knew where she was, Anna was actually in the place that she had always dreamed of: the world of her story.
