The Alchemy of Stories:
Essays on Literature and Life
Sometimes, a literary exemplar aligns with a life experience to create a paradigm shift, and metamorphosis ensues. The Alchemy of Stories is a modern collection of creative essays, serving as an ode to those moments—the alchemical convergence of literature and life.
