This small collection of some of the author's short stories and poems mostly stem from personal experience, from taking risks with online dating (Dust, J.E.E. and Parallel Magnolias), wishing she was brave enough to climb the mast (Climbing the Mast) and having a hysterectomy in Trinidad (I left my womb in Chaguaramus), to reflecting on approaching the end of life and choosing what to do with a gift of three wishes (Autumn Wishes). Speculation on what it means to be male or female led to a brother and sister swapping bodies (Criss-Cross), wondering if Eve took the first bite of the apple (Eve Bites First) and to an alien planet (Tripos) where there are eighteen possible different genders and no expectations of how individuals should behave on the basis of their biology.
