Visit worlds with mermaids trapped in zoos, floating continents that block out the sun, curses that sprout flowers from your skin, astronauts on dying spaceships, and forests haunted by hungry bog witches. Five short stories that revolve around the love between women and the fantastical world they inhabit. Sagas of a mermaid fascinated by the enclosure next to hers. A genius young woman trying to reach a stranger in the sky. A bog hag threatening to eat a princess that can't seem to stay away from her. Astronauts conversing as one hurtles into Jupiter's atmosphere on a doomed voyage. A woman cursed to grow flowers from her skin when kissed and the knight that promises to save her. Inspired by fairy tales, folklore, classic science fiction, and more. Love is all around us-and more magical than ever in these tales of overcoming the obstacles that keep us apart.

"I wanted to read more of her works. The stories felt too short. I wanted to read more. Each one did a good job of representing different kinds of love such as childhood or fleeting. I loved the characters and the worlds they inhabit. The only reason this one lost a star is the mermaid story really freaked me out. The whole idea that humans would put someone who can communicate and basically is human in a cage is just uncomfortable. I didn’t think being in a zoo was necessary and was a bit odd."
