Where does imagination end and reality begin? In her second volume of short stories, a continuation of Connections Across Time, M.J. Sherman blurs the lines between the inner and outer self, between the past and the present. Letters from the past change the present reality, a snow globe shakes up the world, and an old woman touches a life and then vanishes. These stories of a disconcerting holiday journey, emotional trauma, remorse, and unexpected healing take the reader from tears to chuckles.
