Description

"In "Junior," we meet a dog psychic who enlists her troubled niece in a moneymaking scheme. In "Electric Wizard," grieving parents beg a teacher to invent poetry and pretend their dead son wrote it. And in the title story, the mother of two young children drives east on a disordered impulse through a blizzard and picks up a gas station attendant along the way."--BOOK JACKET.
