    Story of Jilly Coppercorn - long! Starts with her being hit by car. Before she can heal her body, though, she needs to heal old hurts inside - like facing the little sister she left behind when she ran away from home. Good beginning, okay ending, dragged a bit in the middle. I really like Jilly as a character in the other Newford books, but overall, I felt a little disappointed with this book that really focused on her own story.

In novel after novel, Charles de Lint has brought an imaginary North American city to vivid life. Newford: where magic lights dark streets, where myths walk in modern shapes, where humans and older beings must work to keep the whole world turning. At the center of the entwined lives of all the Newford tales stands a young artist named Jilly Coppercorn, whose paintings capture the hidden beings that dwell in Newfords shadows. With her tangled hair, her paint-splattered jeans, a smile perpetually on her lips, shes darted in and out of the Newford tales. Now, at last, we have Jillys own story. Behind the painters fey charm theres a dark secret, and a past shes laboured to forget. That past is coming to claim her now, threatening all she loves.
