On a rainy night at a tiny Oregon college, a shadowy figure at the back of the hall interrupts Bullwick Farley's mythology lecture: "Little Red Riding Hood has done something terrible," he says, "and I desperately need your help before it's too late." Just another story in a class all about stories? A myth, a fable, a tale told and retold? The students might think so. But ten years after leaving a life where even the strangest stories turn out to be true, Farley faces a choice. Stick with his comfortable, if lonely, life as a professor. Or risk it all to go looking for the woman who broke his heart. A mystery with a twist, a touching love story, and a new take on a time-honored fairy tale, Looking for Little Red provides rare insights on the power of stories to shape our lives, and the importance of memories, even painful ones.
