Prepare to be swept off your feet and get lost once again to the magic of the Forest of Evergreen.-Jeslen Tesoro, author and winner of AsianFanfics 2014*****Praise for THE FOREST OF EVERGREEN:Found in the WildernessBook 2 is as surprising as Book 1. Love for the story creeps up on you, until you feel you can not let go. At first, it seems like just another fantasy story between a man and a woman, but when the reader comes to the main theme of the book , which is "Love does not demand its own way," the reader realizes she/he is not just holding another self-centered, selfish little piece about juvenile love and all the modern millennial trappings of so-called bratty, and twisted romance. I urge the readers to find out a little about themselves in this new book, and to know, like Sophia, what it feels like to be 'Found' and to truly belong. The fulfilling way.-Renee Grace Amour V.
