About this audiobook

It's a day just like any other day... until something utterly unfamiliar suddenly lands in your back yard.

Susan is the epitome of the happy housewife, contentedly conducting her daily ritual of cleaning her home and keeping everything just as it should be. Wrapped up in her own little world within those familiar walls, she hardly notices the altogether different arrival in her own back yard.

She may ignore the sudden shaking beneath her slippered feet, she might even neglect to spot the conspicuous sight itself—but she can't evade the stench.

Something's wrong. Very wrong. And Susan's incapable of determining just what to do about the uninvited eyesore in her back yard.

Turning to her best friend for help with the impromptu emergency threatening to shake up her very existence and happy home, Susan combines efforts with neighbor Trisha to decipher the composition and meaning of the frightfully large and utterly unpleasant new arrival.

But are these two women really capable of realizing the gift of new awareness they've just been given by an unseen entity? Or will they continue to fail to see the world that exists out there?

What a difference a day makes... unless you choose to ignore it.

About the author

Justine Avery is an award-winning author of stories large and small for all. Born in the American Midwest and raised all over the world, she is inherently an explorer, duly fascinated by everything around her and excitedly noting the stories that abound all around. As an avid reader of all genres, she weaves her own stories among them all. She has a predilection for writing speculative fiction and story twists and surprises she can¿t even predict herself.Avery has either lived in or explored all 50 states of the union, over 36 countries, and all but one continent; she lost count after moving 30-some times before the age of 20. She¿s intentionally jumped out of airplanes and off the highest bungee jump in New Zealand, scuba dived unintentionally with sharks, designed websites, intranets, and technical manuals, bartered with indigenous Panamanians, welded automobile frames, observed at the Bujinkan Hombu Dojo in Noba, Japan, and masterminded prosperous internet businesses¿to name a few adventures. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree that life has never required, and at age 28, she sold everything she owned and quit corporate life¿and her final ¿job¿¿to freelance and travel the world as she always dreamed of. And she¿s never looked back.Aside from her native English, Avery speaks a bit of Japanese and a bit more Spanish, her accent is an ever-evolving mixture of Midwestern American with notes of the Deep South and indiscriminate British vocabulary and rhythm, and she says ¿eh¿¿like the Kiwis, not the Canadians. She currently lives near Los Angeles with her husband, British film director Devon Avery, and their three adopted children: Becks, Sam, and Lia. She writes from wherever her curiosity takes her. Daniela Acitelli is an American professional audiobook narrator and voice-over artist, who has lived in the U.K. for the past 15 years. She has a Theater, Film, Cabaret, and Circus background and has studied the Meisner technique and Lee Strasberg¿s ¿Method¿ acting. Daniela has extensive audiobook training both in narration and production. Daniela has always had a great love of Cabaret and Vaudeville, including the old-time concert saloon, minstrelsy, circus acts, dime museums, and literary American burlesque shows and is very proud to have performed several times at London¿s famous Madame Jo Jo¿s before it closed down. When not narrating, Daniela can be found in London¿s late-night Cabaret clubs or kickboxing.
