An illustrated collection of 21 short stories about hope, transformation, and finding light within the dark.
A masquerade mask reveals a young woman’s innermost secrets. A grieving woman uses cocoa beans to open a door between worlds. Leaving her thesis behind, a graduate student crosses into fairyland. An aging grandmother recounts her post-war encounter with a shapeshifter who brought out new desires.
Myth, folklore, and magic come together as characters in this heartwarming collection to conquer everyday challenges with strength and resilience.
