Explore the mysterious intersection of a day-in-the-life and the reality just the other side of the thinning veils in these three thematically linked tales. In "Last Supper," discover the true wedge that drove Lana's family to dissolve. In "Through A Mirror, Darkly," watch as a family legacy explodes into Richard's medical world. In "Root of All Evil," learn how Leslie finds herself with a little help from the other side. In the end, it isn't horrifying if the characters can learn to expand their souls.

Earth's alien progenitors have returned. For Tara Shifflet, abuse survivor and meeting planner, that wouldn't be as big a deal as getting home to her therapy cat, except that getting anywhere in the U.S. is dicey in the wake of public uproar about first contact. For Navenah, a short-term assignment with vague directions to find generators to save her dying race leads to frustration and misunderstanding. The two women find unexpected pleasure together, but will that solve the galactic die-off?
