Out There
"Out There juxtaposes the wonders of nature with the artificial world of a self-obsessed Los Angeles housewife ... Avery sets the scene perfectly with those first few lines, and her imaginative, gentle take on the inanities of the so-called civilized world sweeps the reader from the banal to the fantastic, almost before you know it. This is a tale that is masterfully told, and it left me smiling for a little while and wanting more."
