A review by ellielabbett
The Glassmaker's Daughter by Jane Ray, Dianne Hofmeyr

4.0

When the glassmaker finds himself unable to change his melancholy daughter's mood, a competition to win her smile begins. From far and wide come people trying to entice her happiness, but no matter their talent and the tricks they perform, Daniela's frown remains firm...
With an empowering message about finding inner happiness and helping others to see what resides within themselves, Hofmeyr left me with the lasting impression that true joy does not come through selfish intentions and a quick fix.
