Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This collection takes its readers on a tangled trip. Public stories -- a conversation at the Castle of the Insane, on-line quizzes to determine if you are mostly meercat or Hufflepuff. #stainlessteelkudos. Personal tales, of Lizs babcia, a devout Catholic and a soldier in the Warsaw Uprising, who spent her last years with Alzheimers disease. There is much to remember that she so badly wanted to forget. What do you do when life gives you spoons?
