Book Preview<\/h3>\n

Any child can be chased by their shadow. All they need to do is run straight toward the sun on a lazy afternoon. As long as they keep moving, it will be right behind them. They can even turn around and try to chase it, but no matter how fast their chubby legs pump, their shadow will always be a little bit out of reach.<\/p>\n

Not so with this child.<\/p>\n

He runs across a yard dotted with dandelions, giggling and shrieking, his fingers close on something that shouldn\u2019t be solid, something that shouldn\u2019t fall before<\/i> he does onto the clover and crabgrass, something he shouldn\u2019t be able to wrestle with and pin in the dirt.<\/p>\n

After, sitting in the mossy cool beneath a maple tree, the boy sticks the tip of his penknife into the pad of his ring finger. He turns his face away so he doesn\u2019t have to watch. The first poke doesn\u2019t go through the skin. The second doesn\u2019t either. Only the third time, when he presses harder, frustration overcoming squeamishness, does he manage to cut himself. It hurts a lot,<\/i> so he\u2019s ashamed of how tiny the bead of blood is that wells up. He squeezes his skin, to see if he can get a little more. The drop swells. He can sense the shadow\u2019s eagerness. His finger stings as a dark fog forms around it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
