Snow White lives in dreams, in the spaces between waking. In those moments, she is the young queen of a happy and bountiful land; the beloved bride of a charming, adventurous, courageous prince; a proud, if slightly anxious, mother-to-be. She knows the weight of destiny, the power of a promised solution to even the most deadly of curses, the need to ensure that her world will continue, despite the threat of the Evil Queen. Above all else, she treasures the love she has for her prince, takes strength from his unwavering faith, and trusts that eventually, everything will be right again. Every time she wakes and becomes a single schoolteacher again, something inside her aches with yearning, and the sense that the life she's living is wrong grows.
