A World of Misfits

With her little book, she records people and things, the one she sees every day and those she meets only once. Behind her counter, surrounded by the most beautiful flowers in Philly, she sees them come and go and, over the sound of wrapping paper and the scent of lilies, she gets a glance of their lives. And that's all Samuel needs, not a door that she can walk through but a window into the world, where she can hide behind the glass, drinking her coffee and watching. She's ok with witnessing, no need to participate. Until she witnesses the same event twice, but orchestrated by the same person. A girl, the kind that likes to participate in life, stealing food during funerals. This mystery, it's just too big to simply record it. This time, Samuel opens the window wide and jumps with both feet out. Little does she know Murphy Stein is a bigger mystery than expected.
