Puppeteer Beatrice Snowdrop is well used to chatty dolls with an attitude. Fortunately, headmistress Miss Beatti knows well how to discipline naughty toys. And how!
Things don’t always go to plan. A failed relationship forces Beatti to shut up shop and hunker down for winter. The days become lonely and cold. She misses crafting dolls, but she isn’t going to make another puppet or date another woman. Certainly not.
Springtime comes around, with the offer of a cash prize for the best Easter puppet. Temptation is difficult to resist and Beatti eventually enters the competition.
Along comes Pokio, a feisty doll with snark aplenty. She insults her mistress from the get-go and proves to be more than a handful. Worse—Pokio can read her mistress’s innermost thoughts and can spot a fib a mile away.
Quite soon, Pokio throws away her strings. Now it’s Miss Beattie who does as she’s told and Pokio who calls the shots. Switching roles is fun. They forget every rule of doll-making and instead notice each other as women.
Pokio develops into a loving, thoughtful doll who adores her mistress. Exactly what Beatti needs. It’s only natural and right when affection blossoms like spring flowers.
A kiss is shared, and an ancient spell is released. Can a doll become a real woman? What does real even mean?
An Easter story of new beginnings, cake, and of love against all odds.
