WHAT NELL DREAMS

$16.95

Readers and reviewers are smitten with Anne Leigh Parrish's latest book. Kirkus Reviews says “these tales are also wonderfully worthwhile, courtesy of an indelible voice that leaves a lasting impression.”

​In sixteen short stories and a novella, award-winning author Anne Leigh Parrish explores the magic of life, love, and the soft boundary between fact and fantasy. The wife of an artist disappears under mysterious circumstances; a woman has the gift of taking away sorrow; another finds inner strength through writing poetry; and a great-grandmother spends the day sitting on a folding chair in a grocery store parking lot, contemplating the nature of the human heart. Literary fiction at its best, WHAT NELL DREAMS is Parrish’s eighth book of fiction.

What Nell Dreams garnered the 2021 Bronze Medal IPPY for Short Story Fiction and the honor of Finalist for the Indie Book Awards.
