Abstract

Purple Glass is a fiction novel that compiles themes of high school, family expectations, twin sibling rivalries, and the significance of historical landmarks through the environmental fantasy genre. The story takes place in the author’s hometown of Springville, Alabama, and is inspired by real events that happened at the former Springville Lake. This work is a testament to the power of nature and its unseen magic that remains present, even amidst environmental tragedy. This work is also about self-discovery and the examination of one’s place within their personal and natural environment.
