"If you have children or will have children,
if you know children or can remember being a child, dare to read Operation
Wandering Soul. . . [it] is bedtime reading for the future." --USA Today
in the heart of Los Angeles, a group of sick children is gathering. Surrogate
parents to this band of stray kids, resident Richard Kraft and therapist Linda
Espera are charged with keeping the group alive on make-believe alone.
Determined to give hope where there is none, the adults spin a desperate
anthology of stories that promise restoration and escape. But the inevitable is
foreshadowed in the faces they've grown to love, and ultimately Richard and
Linda must return to forgotten chapters in their own lives in order to make
sense of the conclusion drawing near.
