Through the Looking Glass by Kris P. Kreme<\/p><\/div>\n

Readers Choice Month Book 4 wonders what happens when you stare into an old mirror, who is staring back? That is the question a shy woman named Alice faces when she purchases an antique mirror from a neighbor’s yard sale.<\/p>\n

She finds herself imagining this mirror version of herself, opposite in all respects, and begins to enjoy the alternate world where she isn’t so shy, isn’t so pure, and definitely isn’t so innocent. Even her body may find that staring into this mirror creates quite the stunning reflection.<\/p>\n

Alice is a quiet woman and always has been a shy person. Growing up, she was the girl who while just as beautiful or more so than any other girl, she never liked the limelight. She preferred and still does a nice peaceful quiet in her life.<\/p>\n

She spends her days inside, only venturing out when necessary or to read a book in the solitude of her backyard. The day her neighbors have a yard sale changes everything. Alice always was curious, always one to enjoy pursuing a mystery, and the mystery of what is drawing the crowds next door is too much to resist.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, the Winters are selling off a lot of old junk, mostly items Mr. Winter collected many years ago overseas. Much of this junk has sat in storage for much too long but amidst the piles, Alice discovers one item she actually can’t seem to look away from.
\nA mysterious old mirror, clearly having seen much better days, draws her to it and as she discovers once in the quiet solitude of her home, it might be drawing her to it for some unseen purpose. The mirror is a reflection of herself, the opposite in all respects, and as she feels herself losing time and staring into its strange surface, Alice finds herself enjoying what she sees.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the opposite is not such a bad thing, maybe this mirror Alice is worth watching. Alice’s imagination runs away with her, but what happens when she discovers that her imagination may not be what’s taking her away?<\/p>\n

Readers Choice Month tells the curious tale of curiosity corrupted and shyness subdued as Alice is taken for quite the unexpected ride in Through the Looking Glass.<\/p>\n
