Summary: A boy helps his sister disguise her birthmark on her first day of school. A seventeen-year-old awakens to find himself trapped in an elderly body. The author serves up bite-sized tales of fear -- fear of rejection, fear of dying, fear of disease, fear of the unknown, fear of exclusion, fear of being caught and fear of embarrassment -- showing how that stubborn seed of hope hungers our darkest moments.
