Within every mind there exists a set of storytellers. They guide us to see the world in higher resolution. They help us seek the splendid in the ordinary. The storytellers within us embody our scattered thoughts. They connect the dots. Without them, the night sky would be a glittering disarray, and there would be no constellations.

In ten exhilarating, heartfelt tales, A. T. French takes the reader on a dazzling adventure through the imagination of a traveler who learns to listen to his storytellers.
