- Summary
- "In these stories magical things happen in very ordinary places. A bottomless hole opens up in a Midwestern town. A pregnant woman's house becomes a magnet for wildlife. The pulling of a tooth maps a journey into the heart. The daily news becomes a litany of omens, superstitions, and visitations"--Jacket.
