#24: Julie Leong, The Teller of Small Fortunes

[kareila]

This was a warm, if somewhat predictable, story about a lonely immigrant fortune teller who has learned not to linger in any one place too long because the minor fortunes that she sells always come true. She eventually happens upon some dedicated travel companions who are on a quest of their own, but their burgeoning friendship is threatened when her past inevitably catches up to her. There is also a cat, because it seems customary for stories of this sort to include a pet of some kind. At least it isn't a talking cat.
