Julie Leong is the author of The Teller Of Good Fortunes. This tale starts out with Tao who travels from city to city with her trusty mule. Tao only tells small fortunes such as it will rain next week or when the cow will calve. The book is set in the 17th century in an unnamed country. She meets a couple of men. One of them is an ex-mercenary and the other is a reformed thief. They wander together. Tao feels the need to move quickly after reading fortunes because the townsfolk might become angry with how their fortunes turned out or start demanding more important fortunes. Eventually they meet a baker and soon the four of them travel together. Tao finally has the family she has always longed for. This sweet tale was a delight to read.
