From New Mexico to Canada to Scotland, Teachworth's YA short stories introduce readers to teenage protagonists whose lives have been touched by intangible forces.

In "Fireflies," soccer-playing Tamia, a young girl of Navajo and Mexican-American descent, completes a science project about fireflies and draws community attention to problematic power lines in the neighborhood.

"Callanish Stones" tells the tale of a young boy, a shipwreck, a daring rescue, and a remarkable reunion. Nicho learns the extent of God's healing powers in "Saving Grace." A father passes down a chicken-bone necklace of potentially magical proportions in "All the Right Moves."

Each story addresses the natural and supernatural worlds, the power of faith, and the way young people come of age at the end of a difficult journey.
