Beyond is a rich collection of young-adult metaphysical short stories that cross cultures and span settings from North America to Europe. A metaphysical and religious motif binds the stories, which are set in times ranging from 1932-when swing dancing was the rage-to a recent science competition in modern-day New Mexico.
These compelling tales explore emotional depth and personal transformation:
- Play follows a girl navigating the emotional toll of domestic violence.
- In Callanish Stones, a mysterious boy is found on a remote Scottish beach, barely alive.
- Finding Edith Allen tells of a young woman's search for her birth mother.
- Mont-Saint-Michel reveals the story of a child raised by a bishop in France.
Blending themes of spirituality, identity, and resilience, the collection features both male and female protagonists, often in school or family-centered environments, confronting life's biggest questions through extraordinary experiences.
