Reluctant Autumn follows the enigmatic Farrell Jenkins—a boy possibly raised by cats—on a prowl through the strange spaces between growing up and holding on to wonder.

- “…offering a reminder that magic still exists in the world, regardless of how old you get or serious your demeanor… It’s a lovely story.” —Charles Payseur, Locus Magazine.
Farrell holds his cupped hands under his mouth and flashes of green reflect on his pale chin. That’s how I know he’s holding a firefly.
