Andrea è un giovane laureato di provincia che si ritrova alle prese con la più classica delle crisi post-università. In attesa di trovare risposte sta impiegando il suo tempo come collaboratore di Intrecci: un progetto ambizioso, nato con l¿obiettivo di diffondere le storie delle persone incidendole sulle scarpe. È per questo che viene invitato dai due curatori, James e Valerio, a passare una giornata in loro compagnia a Cip, paesino arroccato tra le colline del Cilento e quartier generale del progetto. Qui il contatto col fare artigiano, il mondo di bottega e una visione imprenditoriale avulsa dal contesto accademico diventano per lui uno stimolo ad interrogarsi sul domani. Tra incontri imprevisti, domande scomode e ideali da inseguire, per Andrea l¿esperienza a Cip si fa rivelatrice di un grande insegnamento: la soluzione è spesso davanti ai nostri occhi, siamo noi che ci costringiamo a non vederla. Intrecci: Storie che legano, Destini che cambiano è l¿amore che bisogna mettere nel fare le cose, l¿esaltazione del piccolo che si compiace e che non ha l¿ansia di diventare grande, un inno al racconto come strada maestra per provare a dare senso, dignità e valore alla nostra vita.

"A supernatural mystery, a coming of age story with romance, faith and hope. The biggest theme in the novel is what it means to be alive, focusing on Alice as she tries to navigate her grief for her mother, her new relationship, and her family. As history, a curse and ghosts plague the town, life and death are tackled in a unique way. Tony Lee Moral doesn't shy away from his characters questioning belief, and they are confronted with whether they need to see to believe, or believe to see. The plot comes full circle by the end, but the last page will leave you wanting more. It's clear this is just the beginning for Alice. A must read with strong prose that carries an eerie undercurrent, slowly delving into details as the mystery unfolds." - Reader's Favourite "An enjoyable adventure story filled with love, angst and ghosts." - Writing Times "Moral has a great story, with twists and turns that keep the reader turning the pages.

It's clever." - Julia Webb Harvey "This book is a great read for anyone who loves a great ghost story or paranormal romance." - Debbie McClure "I loved the setting of this novel - Monterey, CA.
