Of ghosts and doves

[SuperRy]

There are little girls who thrive on more than simple fairy stories—stories where damsels cannot save themselves. There are mothers who revisit tales of their own childhood, spinning yarns of strength, of solidarity, of …kidnapping and offerings. Of thieves, of ghosts, of doves. Of warrior women and the beasts they ride.
