What this episode covers

Imagine a world where every fantastic story your best friend told you turns out to be true. Imagine knowing you're a freak, but discovering later that you're a star. Imagine a painful childhood, a mentor who shows you how to dream, and equips you to escape. imagine running away to join the circus, and finding there the family you've longed for. Imagine these things, and you've imagined the world of "Rain Village" by Carolyn Turgeon. A fairy tale in the best sense of that word, "Rain Village" is as magical as Neil Gaiman's "Stardust", but grounded in this world. Mary gives Tessa a life, but cannot save her own in this lyrical story about knowing yourself and finding your place in the world. Buy Thanksgiving and Christmas books now at The Kaleidoscope.
