A young mother wrestles with the unknown.

 

It's Possible by Paige Clark

read by Gabrielle Ng

 

Synopsis

On an unseasonably beautiful day, a trip to the park paints a picture of potential. From a moment on the monkey bars, to a dog without a lead, there is what is, and what could be.

There is what is safe, and what's known, and then, there's something else ...

It's Possible presents a scene of the everyday, a story that is equal parts charming and sinister. It reminds us that life is lived on the edge of uncertainty, and there is beauty in the balance.

A gardener seeks solace in the earth. A pig hunt doubles as a first date. A young mother wrestles with what’s possible. A man is bitten by a fox. A table speaks. A navigator finds her destiny amongst the stars. 

We’ve all read stories that changed our lives. We’ve all imagined places that feel like home. We’ve all met characters who feel like family.

Now, we’ll hear the stories, then go to the source. We’ll speak with the authors, to find out what makes a story great, where they come from, and why they connect.

These are stories: Unpacked. Understood. Unfolded.

Join us for season 1 of Unfolded as Seth Robinson and Tony Birch speak with authors Chris Flynn, Claire G. Coleman, Frankey Chung-Kok-Lun, Miriam Webster, Paige Clark, and Laura Jean McKay.

Unfolded

A gardener seeks solace in the earth. A pig hunt doubles as a first date. A young mother wrestles with what’s possible. A fox bite changes a life. A table speaks. A navigator reckons with the gift, and burden, of ancient knowledge.
