A playful matchmaking ghost meddles in a young woman's love life. An upscale bag-lady enters an alternate world through a mirror and meets her alter ego. A cynical teenage runaway encounters the shadowy line that divides life, death, and love.

This review is from: Other Worlds (Paperback)

This collection of short stories were some of the best I have ever read. From the little 3 year old Megan, who is bright and talented and psychic -- and whose job it was to change the world to the better, to the ghost that haunted the heroine's house and the pretend ghost buster who had always admired her from afar, to the fairies and their evil king who wanted to take over earth; the magic mirror that pulled the heroine's image from a parallel world to change the future from her dismal future. Brava to Paula Blais Gorgas! I truly enjoyed these and only wish I could learn more about what happens in these worlds! I highly recommend this collection of delightful short stories.
