About this audiobook

A princess born without gravity must navigate a world where she literally floats away from her responsibilities and her feelings. Her whimsical struggle to find her footing is a clever metaphor for the emotional weight required to truly live. A charming and profound fairy tale about the gravity of love and the necessity of tears.
