    Summary

    Esther Kadigan has always felt a little alienated around her fellow humans. A gothy self-proclaimed bitch down on her luck after dropping out of university, her disenchantment with the world appears boundless, to the point where she neglects taking the medication that's supposed to calm her troubled mind--because what could happen, anyway?

    Too much, it turns out, when she meets--and is greeted by--something with kindness beyond her understanding that, for some unfathomable reason, takes an outsized interest in her shadowed little life.

    (And then they kiss-kissed-fell-in-love)

    Summary

    You were always far away, so distant, too lost. You ordered bitter coffee when you wished for sweet tea. Never finding, always wanting. But now your here, somewhere you don't have to want, and you won't ever want to leave. Welcome home.

    Oh, and happy birthday, by the way.

    Summary

    The Ryland Grace Memorial Diner sat between a construction site and a cluster of small apartments on the recovering streets of San Francisco.

    It was founded in 1972, renamed in 2051, and in 2053, a statue of a schoolteacher was erected within its walls. Now, it attracted tourists and students alike, bright eyes and eager minds all competing for a view of Earth’s most beloved man in man’s most beloved habitat.

    Or: A look at the people of the San Fran diner Grace goes to every morning for breakfast in the book.
