Among them, we meet a homesick musician struggling with an unusual addiction; a department store mannequin living as a flesh-and-blood woman; and a mother and daughter hosting tea parties for an unlikely guest. These quiet, emotionally fraught tales explore our unseen connections to strangers and the cyclical nature of our collective stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarla Crujido is the Nonfiction Editor at \u003ci\u003eRiver Styx Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e.
