"Thirty years ago, on a quiet sunny morning, I took a walk in the woods and encountered two luminous lights. They told me they were fairies. But that was only the beginning. What followed was a journey to a quiet choice that would change my world.” ~ LLS

How do we process and integrate the mystical and inexplicable in our lives? Lori Sweet decided to do so by writing down her encounter, giving unique form to what she could not fully explain, then set it aside. Thirty years later, the story reemerged, asking to be shared.

​​

This layered memoir weaves stories within stories, rooted in nature’s wisdom and the magic that lives in ordinary moments. It reflects on how we might approach what cannot easily be defined with curiosity, reverence, and the eyes of the heart.

​​

Told through the fictional voices of Alma and Kaiah, a soulful grandma and her curious granddaughter, the telling illuminates the intimate and elusive qualities of life’s mysterious moments through one woman’s experience with the Otherworld.

​

In the Company of Fairies moves beyond the encounter itself as the author reflects on a story still unfolding, explores the enchanting landscape of fairy lore, and invites readers to ponder the mystical and unseen in their own lives.​​
