Have you ever known a goddess? A goddess who makes dinner, garnishes the table with a wildflower and keeps the house clean? White Wave, a Chinese goddess, dwells in the shell of a moon snail. She must only be adored and watched, but never touched. Once touched, she leaves forever, granting help only in dire need. Enjoy this magical story of loneliness, simple joys, honor and the beginnings of a legend.
