Unable to process the devastating truth, Daisy sets out to a nearby national forest, where she intends to spend her days living like the fairy in her daughter's favorite storybook. Soup cans, a hut made of twigs and old blankets, and a wicker basket full of soon-to-be rotten fruit are all Daisy has in her make-believe world. Yet, it's enough to keep her fantasy alive for a couple of weeks. She dances and prances her way through the days, often talking to trees and mushrooms and sipping tea by her favorite stream. However, her fantasy starts cracking when a phantom ring begins haunting her, forcing her to drift in and out of reality, slipping into flashbacks of her life before. Daisy continues on, trying her best despite the ever-present ring. After a nasty fall resulting in a broken ankle, and the voice of her deceased husband speaking to her, Daisy leaves in hopes of healing herself. However, she quickly learns there's no place she'd rather be than the woods. A year later, Daisy keeps up with appearances with a new teaching job but spends her weekends in the forest, where she drifts into her preferred reality, a fairy living in a magical forest. See less
