The titular story is one of alienation and discrimination, as a woman transformed into an ugly lifeform-a clumsy digger-seeks to escape her servitude to humans, but is denied sanctuary by the beautiful and graceful flyers. Also included is the acclaimed story Of Mist, and Grass, and Sand, which became the first section of McIntyre's Hugo and Nebula Award-winning novel, Dreamsnake. In it, a woman who harnesses the power of snakes' venom to heal saves the life of a nomad boy in the desert-but the price she pays may be too much to bear.
