Nothing Ever Happens Around Here

We all have those little pockets in life when almost everything seems to go alright. So how can Heidi be expected to write intriguing stories for English class when nothing ever happens around here?

In her quest to find eight hundred words for a class assignment, Heidi sits in her backyard, intending to bemoan her situation.

Her observation of people and places on nature walks with Rainbow, her dog, become charming commentaries illustrating the richness of friendships spanning three generations and two cultures.
