Happy: And Other Stories - Paperback

by Kerri a. Hewitt (Author)

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.
