There's a boundary between ordinary and extraordinary, and when we're lucky or wise or brave enough to move beyond it, something wonderful awaits.
Join 30 authors as they explore transcendence in this original collection of stories, essays, and poems.
Experience a firetide, a nighttime fishing adventure, a beloved dog’s passing, a wingless flight, and the ache for a drink.
Meet Nai the Dragonfly, a star child, a caretaker, a man in bear’s clothing, a tall dark stranger with a birthmark, a curmudgeon and a puppy, a Tea Leaf Reader, a French couple, a strange old lady, and a woman discovering herself.
Walk beneath a Hunter’s Moon, climb a cliff, trek the Appalachian Mountains, wander Big Sky Country, read messages from Heaven, and more.
