Barn Wood and Blue Roses
by Jaquelyn Priskorn

When Devon learns that best friend Chelsea has cystic fibrosis, Devon creates a fantasy world for the two of them to live in. They live in their new imaginative world as L’Sea, a woman who becomes a dragon twice a day, and D’Nova, renowned artisan of comical barn wood signs and a magician’s apprentice. But Devon has kept a secret, too. And it is about to bring their whole fantasy world crashing down.
