In Everybodys Lonesome, we meet twenty-year-old Mary Alice, who finds herself disillusioned with her mundane home life and envious of the glamorous, confident girls she observes at social gatherings. At her mothers urging, she embarks on a reluctant journey to visit her Godmother in New York. There, she discovers a sprinkle of homemade magic and learns a profound Secret that empowers her to connect with others. Can Mary Alice harness these newfound gifts to create joy in her own life and the lives of those around her? This delightful novelette, subtitled A True Fairy Story, beautifully illustrates that the most enchanting magic often resides within ourselves. (Introduction by Jan MacGillivray)
