“Her most difficult choice had been which book to bring. She couldn't decide between something she'd never read before and one of her favorites. So, of course, she'd packed two: a pirate adventure story she'd borrowed from the bookseller just the day before and the beloved book of short stories her mother used to read to her when she was a child. A warm smile stretched across Belle's lips at the thought of her mother and the love of reading she'd instilled in her only daughter. She'd also nurtured Belle's sense of adventure. "I'm finally going on one of my own, Mama," Belle whispered. "A true adventure.” BooksBelleMemories Of MotherFarrah RochonSense Of Adventure Book:A Twisted Tale Anthology Source: A Twisted Tale Anthology

“Belle had learned to love the idea of having a small special corner of the world to return to, of having relationships to maintain. Through her parents, her books, and her neighbors, she found her path onward, the most rewarding journey of all--- the journey home.” BelleJourney HomeFarrah Rochon Book:A Twisted Tale Anthology Source: A Twisted Tale Anthology
“After years of yearning to see beyond the borders of her provincial little town, the thought of journeying someplace new, even if it was only to show her father's invention at a neighboring village's fair, made her heart race. Maybe she would encounter a merry theater troupe on their way to perform the latest play. Or maybe merchants traveling with their wares to trade on the Silk Road. Oh, wouldn't it be wonderful to meet a newly married couple heading to Paris or Verona to celebrate their honeymoon? Who knew what types of adventures awaited her!” AdventuresBelleFarrah Rochon Book:A Twisted Tale Anthology Source: A Twisted Tale Anthology
“The same people who'd mocked her for her love of reading, and gossiped about her father, now cozied up with a good book while enjoying a fire fueled by wood cut with her father's wood-chopping machine. Many minds had been changed those past few years. Particularly when word of her father's prize-winning invention had spread and Monsieur René le Prince, an entrepreneur (a new profession, funnily enough, born out of the word adventurer,) proposed a partnership. With Monsieur le Prince's resources, Maurice's knack for machinery, and Belle's cleverness, they had formed a formidable team. They traveled to other fairs and looked for new innovations to support, Belle often finding successes in the inventors no one else would take a chance on.” BelleMauriceFather DaughterFarrah RochonInnovation And Entrepreneurship Book:A Twisted Tale Anthology Source: A Twisted Tale Anthology
