Low Hanging Stars is a love story between ghost, preteen starlet and her mother set on an impossibly pretty hill in New England. It's hard to move forward, it's hard to look back but it's harder to stay still. A work in progress inspired by tragic events and Dakota Fanning. Book of Clouds is set in Austin in 1958. A remarkable library of every book imaginable has burned to the ground. The former librarian and a young girl who hates to read sort through the ashes together.
