Missing Elves takes readers of all ages into the exciting and inspiring world of elves. A young elf-woman, separated in infancy from her parents, returns to her birthplace. Three elf-children make a daring decision that leads to danger and discovery. A leader, beset with doubts, struggles to realize his own potential as his colony endures a harsh winter snowstorm. The reader is offered a delightful view of true friendship and love: young love, mature love, and old love. Along with the elves, the reader feels the pain of separation and loss, the hope of healing and the joy of homecoming. Remembering their collective past opens the way for a whole colony to unite in a new endeavor. The reader is invited to revel in celebrations, from a wedding to the birthday party of the oldest elf anybody has ever known.

Missing Elves is the third book of The Hollydale Elves series. Each of the books can stand alone as a delightful journey, filled with warmth, adventure and memorable characters. In an ordinary Virginia forest, the elf colony of Hollydale thrives. Except on rare occasions, humans seem completely unaware that these small, intelligent beings move among them. The elves live in underground homes. Their lives are simple, yet challenging. Their stories are deeply compelling. The elves know very little of technology, and they possess no magical powers, but in many ways their civilization is superior to that of their human neighbors. With their very long life-spans, elves have time to become wise.
