The teller of small fortunes [large print] / Julie Leong.
"Tao is an immigrant fortune teller, traveling between villages with just her trusty mule for company. She only tells small fortunes: whether it will hail next week; which boy the barmaid will kiss; when the cow will calve. She knows from bitter experience that big fortunes come with big consequences . . . Even if it's a lonely life, it's better than the one she left behind. But a small fortune unexpectedly becomes something more when a (semi) reformed thief and an ex-mercenary recruit her into their desperate search for a lost child. Soon, they're joined by a baker with a "knead" for adventure, and of course a slightly magical cat. Tao starts down a new path with companions as big-hearted as her fortunes are small. But as she lowers her walls, the shadows of her past close in and she'll have to decide whether to risk everything to preserve the family she never thought she could have."-- Provided by publisher.
