INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Fusco, Kimberly Newton

Beholding Bee

(2) 4-6 With a large diamond-shaped birthmark on her cheek, Bee knows no other life than the traveling carney environment of 1942 when she meets two old women who not only welcome her but also appear to expect her. That they're ghosts of ancestral grandmothers is slowly revealed, but Bee's matter-of-fact, first-person account and slow understanding allow for a smooth transition from realism to fantasy.
