ElsaÕs family grows more unkind by the week. Her boss, a seven-foot-tall rage demon, has control of everything but his anger. And her cat wants to eat her. Things could be better.

In a world where oneÕs Animal Affinity is a sign of maturity and worth, ElsaÕs inability to demonstrate hers is becoming more than a disappointing nuisance; itÕs becoming a danger. She has no confidence sheÕll ever conquer her Plainness by Òblossoming.Ó She also fears both the wolf packs that prowl her neighborhood and being stuck in a life plummeting rapidly from lackluster to perilous. Fortunately, she has a cousin and a co-worker who know her better than she knows herself and can see through to what society wonÕt.

Finis. is the magic realism of our time, a story of finding oneÕs way to the end of things, of persevering through the dregs of life to discover something more.
