Mila and the Forest of Longing

Mila and the Forest of Longing is a sensory-rich, archetypal quest of yearning. When the ache of missing arms becomes unbearable, young Milla steps beyond her village into a living forest that hears every human longing. Six mysterious Keepers await, each slipping into her pocket a small talisman and a lesson in compassion, courage, rest, clarity, play, and gratitude. Echoing classic myth, the tale reframes longing as a doorway to inspiration, spark, and wholeness, ringing out as a resonant new chapter in the Borderless Story Collection.
