When magical elements enter the mundane world in this collection of short stories by Kerri A. Hewitt, they twist reality in disturbing, humorous and touching ways. A man is plagued by a dwarf and can’t find true happiness; a daughter is inadvertently exchanged for a kangaroo; a walk in the woods becomes a journey to the stars; murals fly off walls and set free an artist; a young man loses the heart he has neglected; and a woman plots the death of her husband in a series of obituaries. With a light touch and a quirky sense of humor, the author delivers wise insights into the meaning of life, authenticity and courage.
