At the end you believe magic is afoot and love is as near to you as your dreams." --Heather Cassell, Bay Area Reporter"Wolfe tells the story with a great deal of magic.

I kept trying to run away from me... ...but there was nowhere to go that I wouldn't be there. The more I ran, the more I needed to run.
