The counsellor who enables your dreams to become reality – at a price; the oh-so-persuasive freelance interrogator whose sub-legal techniques ensure dramatic results; an unsung writer, standing in at a gala when the big name doesn’t show; the on-call priest who specializes in clerical emergencies; a painter and her assistant who each tell a different truth about their relationship; and a refugee whose life is transformed by a pair of boots. What could possibly connect these unique characters and their stories? Why, the obscure, some would say camouflaged, building in which they work.
Six stories told with perceptive wit and humour, Inquire Within makes the unlikely appear possible, the imagined become reality.
