MORE THAN A STORY ABOUT THE EVIL EYE
Why can a compliment linger for days? Why does good news sometimes make us uneasy? And what happens when an unexplained setback becomes a story about someone else's intentions?
Not Everyone Wants You to Shine asks these questions without rushing to accusations or easy answers. Through memorable lives and layered reflection, it explores the space between what we know, what we suspect and what we believe.
