Kim would stay awake inside her tiny studio apartment and type until her eyes became heavy with sleep. But that is when Kim’s eclectic imagination would explode. She dreamed of Calm Night when she slept. The dreams are now chapters in the book. Each character was brought to life with what Kim’s idea of wholeness, ability and concord is.
