A quest for permanence and a place to call home threads through this compelling book, but so do mermaids and camellias, spiders and stingrays, mental illness, and cacti. In these rich, poignant, emotionally astute poems, Lake Hansen leads us on a journey from childhood to motherhood, and we are left learning to "believe in the magic" of words to sustain and transform. -Dr. Beth Gylys, author of Body Braille and Sky Blue Enough to Drink
