Summary: "Joshua Pearl comes from a world that we no longer believe in--a world of fairy tales. He knows that his great love is waiting for him somewhere in that realm, but he is trapped in an unfamiliar place--an old-world marshmallow shop in Paris on the eve of World War II. As his memories begin to fade, he discovers strange objects: tiny fragments of tales that have already been told. Can Joshua remember the past and believe in his own story before his love is lost forever?"--Dust jacket.
