    About this ebook

    Invisible people exist.

    Nearing retirement, Penelope Mason works at the library, mending books. No one notices her. No one talks to her.

    Except today. To tell her about the library budget cuts. Either she, or the other district conservator, loses their job.

    Penelope knows how this story ends.

    Then suddenly, everything shifts and her world vanishes.

    A coming of age fantasy for late bloomers that blows a breath of fresh wind through the genre.
