Are the answers she's seeking shrouded in the mists of magic? Inspired by the true story of Alene Lee, whose crucial role is often left out of Beat Generation lore.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNisi Shawl\u003c\/b\u003e's first novel, \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eEverfair\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, was\u003cbr\u003ea finalist for the 2016 Nebula Award.
