From the moment she was born, Ivory has always been her mother's Snowflake Princess. When her mother Ebony is kept in the hospital Ivory begins to realize that life is not what it seems. Ebony, a young naturalist and poet, walked every day around Hayward Lake with the philosopher. She recorded the flora and fauna through her camera lens, exhibiting at the Kariton Gallery, selling her photography and supporting her husband's work as an English professor. Ivory's father, the philosopher, had been asking the deep questions of men and angels, and taking long walks around the lake with the naturalist as they conversed in poetry. When tragedy struck, they began to search both within and without for the Divine, redefining the meaning in suffering through poetry and symbolism. In this time of life-changing martyrdom, will the naturalist leave the Snowflake Princess and all she loves behind? Will there be an Ebony and Ivory gate into the spiritual realm?
