As technology advances, society crumbles, and the climate collapses, "Through Neighboring Windows" sets the stage for a world not so unlike our own.Through an interlinked collection of eighteen stories that delve into the complexities of the human experience, the collection invites the reader to consider the impact of these forces on their lives, their communities, and their world.Amidst the turmoil, we find the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of empathy. "Through Neighboring Windows" is a reminder that, even in the midst of chaos, we have the power to shape our future and to bring about change, together.

Written in the aftermath of an accident, terminated engagement, and on the precipice of Frances' early twenties, 'in pursuit of kinder muses' captures the essence of where we come from, who we are, and what inspires us to grow. Spoken through the perspective of four of the nine Ancient Greek muses comes a story of personal growth and revelations on what we allow to fuel our craftsmanship and intrinsic motivation. While grappling with mental and emotional health, as well as personal and familiar relationship struggles, Frances explores the many facets of creative identity, and the innately human ability to grow throughout a lifetime. There is beauty beyond hardship, discovered while tending to softer mediums, where we also so often find life, light, and ourselves.
