    About this ebook

    The wildly experimental and magical story of a Victorian Traveling Couch and his owner Girl, a young woman who fearlessly attempts to break free from life struggles on age, choice, and lost love by exploring the world from the back of her airborne Couch. Full of lyrically depicted adventures in graveyards, gypsy meadows, and the inside of teepees, Girl, so desperately trying to escape what she claims to be too much to deal with may just find her outings with Couch reveal an bigger adventure within herself.
