Five women. Five impossible gifts. One question that won't let go: what if you could see what's really there?
Maya can walk through the spaces between raindrops-and the spaces between moments, where a single nudge can turn tragedy into a near miss. Helen has spent a lifetime seeing the light beneath ordinary things, a luminous current of love and connection invisible to everyone around her. Alice slips into other people's bodies to reach them at the exact moment they're about to give up. And near a cold lake in Washington, a cartographer named Calla closes her eyes and maps places she has never been-until a seven-year-old girl goes missing, and the rule she swore she'd never break is the only thing that might bring the child home.
The Visible and the Invisible gathers five complete short stories about women who perceive what the rest of us cannot-and who discover that a gift is only a burden until you learn what it's for.
Grounded, contemporary, and quietly profound, these are stories for readers who suspect the world holds more than our five senses report. Each one stands alone. Together, they form a single, resonant question: if you could see past the surface, what would you do about it?
Perfect for readers of Matt Haig's The Midnight Library and Toshikazu Kawaguchi's Before the Coffee Gets Cold.
