Writer Megan Paonessa tells a modern-day tale of regret and second chances in fabulist fashion. You are instantly drawn into a story at once otherworldly, yet grounded in everyday reality. The description of the Old Woman's garden is so vivid and rich that the garden becomes a character—just as living and breathing as the main characters. Winner of Hayden's Fairy Review 25th Anniversary Award, Paonessa offers yet another winner.
