Everyone has their secrets, and Villia Flatbottom is no exception. From the day she was born, she inherited a peculiar name, strange powers, an old house filled with potions, and the ability to see an island invisible to all but those who possess the Flatbottom name.
Villia believed that her life was under control until she received a phone call from her estranged daughter asking Villia to watch her grandchildren for a week.
"Easy-peasy," she thought. "How hard could it be to entertain a couple of kids for a week? After all, she had two whole weeks before she had to set sail to the Island of the Blue Moon. What could possibly go wrong?"
In this whimsical tale of allegory and love, Villia must attain her deepest desire by first achieving the impossible: healing a broken family and inspiring faith where there is only suspicion and resentment.
