Beware of appearances!

Even death does not intimidate Chevrotine, with her crooked smile and laughing eyes. She and her seven kids live in the heart of a strange, distant world not unlike our own. There you can meet an astronaut whose spaceship has broken down, a cowboy with a crush on his crab, hired killers who penetrate their victims' souls, a child who refuses to grow up, time travelers, and even neighbors who don't like witches.
Am unusual, feminist tale, humorous yet merciless, Chevrotine dwells at the meeting place of westerns, fantasy, and sci-fi.
