What it is

A girl wears a dress stitched from other people’s words. A boy comes with a jar and brings storms instead of water. A silver cat arrives when she has nothing left. And in her own pocket, past the pebbles and the doubt she has been feeding, there is a letter.

It was always there. It does not say earn this. It does not say prove. It was hers before she did anything to deserve it.

It reads like a fairy tale. Women finish it and say, quietly, that was me.

From the back of the book

A story about worth, identity, and a love that cannot be earned.

Some girls are taught to make themselves small. To hush their dreams, to carry others’ storms, to work until they’re empty. But what if they were always a daughter of the King?

In this beautifully illustrated story, one girl discovers that the dress she’s been wearing, stitched from others’ opinions and self-doubt, was never meant for her. Guided by a silver cat named Stella and a letter sealed in gold, she finds her way to a love that asks nothing and gives everything.

For every girl still learning who she is, and every woman who finally remembers.

Pulled from her reviews

This is a beautiful story that so many women can relate to! Literally brought me to tears. Danica has a way of making this book enjoyable to both young girls and adult women. Even as someone who is not religious, I loved this book beginning to end.

I just wanted to tell you how much we loved your book. It’s absolutely amazing! My daughter hasn’t stopped talking about it. This morning she said, “I pray that she sells her book so quickly and that everyone gets to know about it.”

Sometimes we forget who we are, and this story beautifully shows how powerful it can be to be reminded of your own inner brightness.

This book is for the little girl in all of us. The little girl overwhelmed by the harshness of life, searching for acceptance, affection and love. The deep abiding Love we find in the King.

Danica has a rare gift. She doesn’t just make people feel welcomed. She makes them feel safe. Safe to be vulnerable, safe to grow, safe to heal, safe to rediscover who they were created to be.

The handcrafted touch

Every copy is sent by hand

This is not a box from a warehouse. Every order is packed and sent personally by Danica.

It is a small thing and an honest one: a reminder, before you have read a single chapter, that you are seen, you are worth the care, and someone is genuinely glad the book is on its way to you.

Good to know


Questions, answered

Both editions are hardcover. The standard edition is an 8 inch by 8 inch picture book. The special edition is 10 inches by 10 inches, with gilded pages and a gold foil title.

Shipping is a flat $5.00 and orders go out ground, which usually runs two to seven business days. You add your address at checkout and see the full total before you pay.

Both, and that is on purpose. It is a picture book a young girl can sit with, and it is a story grown women keep saying they saw themselves in. Many women read it for themselves first and then read it aloud to a daughter.

The book is listed on Amazon, but ordering here costs less and more of it reaches Danica. The special edition is only available directly from her.

Yes. The book and the six-week walk are made to be read together. Send Danica a note through the contact page with how many copies you need and she will get back to you.

Six weeks through the story, one theme at a time, from the lies we have believed about ourselves back to the truth of who God says you are. The book opens a door. The six weeks are how you walk through it. The full outline is further up this page.

Yes. Danica reads the story with a room and then opens it up, and every woman leaves with a guide she has written in. Details are on the speaking page.
