MY ELUSIVE CHRYSSIANNA is a delightful story that will appeal to all lovers of children's stories. It is a story of the bond between two ten-year old girls, Cally Sue (who considers herself quite plain) and Chryssianna (who appeared one day seemingly out of nowhere). Chryssianna is blonde, perfectly dressed, and beautiful, but quite the adventurer, imaginative, and very elusive. It is a friendship that spans only a short period of time, yet it has an impact on Cally Sue that lasts a lifetime. The story also touches on the relationship between Cally Sue and her widowed mother, who has struggled to keep the Great Depression from impacting their lives as it surely has impacted the lives of many of those around them. She is hard-working and seemingly distant and harsh, yet at times Cally Sue detects the love her mother has a difficult time expressing. It is a heartwarming story of relationships, adventure, and humor, with a tinge of mystery ever-present. Whether you, the reader, had that bosom friend or whether you just longed for one, this is a story that will touch the depths of your emotions. It is a story of finding and losing, losing and finding.
