Juniper, a book editor turning 40, is magically reconnected with an eight-year-old version of herself who questions her life choices, including the dream of writing her own stories.

How unusual is it?

More than most. Magic pushes it well past the usual Hallmark template — the strangest 18% of everything we've logged.
