Andy is sixty-five, still living in the central Iowa farm region where she was born, and still with her mother, Cindy, who is slowly perishing from cancer, dementia and the lack of the booze she loved so well.

In this magically real novel, a sixty-something female examines her life and her heritage as a mixed species creature – half human, half fairy. Let's Talk About A Woman's Write!
