Kathleen Dexter's clever use of magical realism makes me want to fall into the pages and join the world she's created every time I reread this gem. Kathleen Dexter began telling stories as soon as she learned to talk, sometimes to the chagrin of her family, who found the neighbors and the cop on the corner a little too up-to-date on family doings. She later graduated from the oral tradition to written form before she learned to read. Her fiction and screenplays have won or been finalists in the Writer's Digest National Self-Publishing Award, ForeWord Magazine's Book of the Year Award, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Nicholl Fellowship in Screenwriting, the Page International Screenwriting Awards, the American Zoetrope Screenplay Awards and the 5x5 Actor's Choice Awards. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 238 pages; Signed by Author .
