Elise understands her father-a Vietnam vet who abandoned her
when she was an infant-about as much as she does her church
organist mother and the rest of their suburban Virginian town.
When even that thin thread of connection is suddenly
severed, Elise is flung across the world, to Southeast Asia.
Tracing the steps her father took through the war, Elise
searches for a connection-with his ghost, with other
travelers, with foreign culture and environment she
experiences.
In a series of linked short stories, Talismans follows
Elise's journey to learn what she must hold onto, and what
she must leave behind.
