Magical Encounters‪:‬

This collection of twenty short stories tells how everyday people sometimes encounter magic: A young woman discovers that her secondhand cellphone is haunted; a homeless man's encounter with a garden gnome changes his life; three older women use their societal invisibility to rescue a little girl from a horrifying fate, and a god from Olympus disguised as a human offers a young gay man a way to escape the home town that scorns him.
