Double Dutch : stories

Summary: Shape-shifters, doppelgangers, and spirits inhabit the extraordinary worlds depicted in Trunkey's stories: a single mother believes her toddler is the reincarnation of a terrorist; Ronald Regan's body double falls in love with the first lady; a man grieves for his wife after a bear takes over her body. The collection also includes moving tales grounded in painful and touching reality: a young deaf girl visits Niagara Falls before she goes blind; an elephant named Topsy is killed on Coney Island by Thomas Edison in 1903; and a woman learns the truth about her son's disappearance while searching for him in the Canadian Rockies.
