Get Hooked on SPELL HEAVEN by Toni Mirosevich
Channel: San Francisco Public Library
Date: 2022-09-15

A university professor and her wife move to a not-so-welcoming California coastal town in this book of linked short stories. Searching for community, the main narrator meets a series of outsiders--not unlike characters found in Steinbeck's Cannery Row.
