Short story of Viola and her family and how they came to New World. Great background information for an incredible trilogy.

I probably should’ve read this before starting the trilogy, which was my thought when I first started. But if you read the trilogy without reading this, you’ll be fine. There won’t be anything you wouldn’t understand. I might be biased because I love Viola so much but I actually loved and enjoyed this. Meeting Viola and her parents, joining their little adventure, getting her background, I loved seeing these.
