Showing results for "Perfect" in Magical Realism

Claudia Lee, 40, is pregnant with her third child, unhappy in her marriage, job, life, body. In the aftermath of a last straw moment that convinces Claudia to file for divorce, she meets Mhairi, a fairy godmother who gives Claudia a magical vacation, returning to life at age 20.

Dr. Charlie Knight fears life is passing him by. He's in his late thirties, and treading water as a family doctor in the same small town he grew up in. Just as he's planning his escape, something changes. He develops a gift, an extraordinary insight for any doctor: a sense of exactly how many days his patients have left to live. But in a country town like Marwick, his patients are his friends. His own family. The people he grew up with, and the girl he still loves. And Charlie discovers this gift may not be a gift at all.

Nancy is so over vampires. Vampire stories, that is, and as a publishing editor building the new Kohl Dark imprint, she swears that if she has to read another one, it'll kill her. Then she meets someone who claims the latest horrid gothic horror on her desk is actually...about his own life! And to make it weirder, he asks Nancy to spend his last night alive with her.
