THE ADVENTURES OF SETH & DARCY

For a young daydreamer like Darcy, time can be a frustrating thing —especially when you feel stuck in a life that isn't quite your own. While her busy father is buried in his work and her sisters are lost in their own dramas , Darcy feels trapped by the "eye-scratching mundane," struggling to keep up in school and nursing a crush on a boy who only sees her as a friend. Believing there might be something wrong with her, she finds her only safe space in the world of books.

But Darcy isn't entirely alone. Always by her feet is Seth, her wise and virtuous cat, who is the only one who truly understands her mind. After listening to Darcy's woes, the ever-faithful feline reminds her that he was once a stray and that she was the one who first showed him a "happy place." He offers her a chance to rediscover that for herself.

Prompted by her own prayers, Darcy agrees to step outside of herself and follow her peculiar guide. Together, the two embark on a whimsical journey into "life's most challenging labyrinth" to explore the many phases of the soul and the maze that lies within.
