Sometimes things are better off lost. And sometimes they were never meant to disappear. Either way, when they’re found, everything changes. Explore fifteen illuminating tales of short fiction that reveal the consequences of finding something once lost or better off forgotten. From Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers comes this collection of inspired works from both award-winning and talented new writers.

Another successful anthology from the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers group, that region's largest authors' collective. They primarily do genre fiction (romance, speculative, mystery, etc.), but there are more purely literary pieces here than you'd expect. That said, a story about the Martian invasion of 'War of the Worlds', told from the POV of an invading - and very disillusioned -- Martian soldier, is more in their typical wheelhouse, as is the modern take on Peter Pan. The title ties all the stories together, as they all involve finding a physical object that gets things moving, or the discovery of something more psychological or spiritual.
