Title: Steps Through the Mist
Description: Five women in various stages of life--all connected by a mysterious, obscuring mist--face the deterministic trap of fate in this mosaic novel. A freshman at a girl's boarding school gains the strange ability to share other people's dreams, whereas a young woman in a straitjacket desperately tries to select a very particular future from among countless possibilities.

A middle-aged skier refuses to be a puppet on a string, while a mature fortune-teller experiences a faltering faith in her trade, and when an elderly woman's precious alarm clock suddenly breaks, she suffers a vivid and troubling encounter with her past. An enticing mix of the ordinary with the surreal and the mundane with the sublime, these tales quietly twist trusted concepts.
