Shadows of an Empress
When a recurring dream about a city she can’t identify leaves Sylvia feeling unsettled and restless, she suddenly awakens one night to find the Empress Elisabeth of Austria, dressed in black, sitting in her living room. Suspecting their lives are somehow linked, but unable to find the answers in Sylvia’s daily life, they embark on a whirlwind tour of places related to the empress’s past, this time led by Sissi, Elisabeth’s younger version. Along the way, the Archduchess Sophie arranges a courtship between Sylvia and Franz Joseph, a heart-broken Heinrich Heine laments the empress’s tendency to credit him for her awful poetry, and Sigmund Freud offers commentary on their journey.

The Tapestry Baby
The moment she learns her one-night stand with a tattooed man has made her pregnant, Karin is convinced she will give birth to a baby whose skin is a tapestry of color. When Anna is born normal in appearance, Karin still believes her child is predestined for some greater purpose.
She begins a journey, intending to surrender her baby to people she believes will provide Anna a better life than she can. Yet, as she travels, she seeks a sign to tell her whether she should keep her child and discovers her life intertwines those of people she has never met, raising the question of whether anyone is ever really in control of their own destiny. |

Then she begins a new job teaching English literature classes at a penitentiary and meets Mitch, an inmate who promises to guide her not only through the dank corridors of the prison, but more importantly the labyrinth of her own life. |
