Out of the Blue Valise

When a cancer diagnosis begins to drain author Mila's vital force, a hippopotamus with magical powers comes to her rescue, inspiring a brand new story. "Out of the Blue Valise" takes us from Oregon to Malibu, Paris to Africa, unpacking such delights as a Hollywood artist sober on AA, a lovable red-and-white zebra, twin can-do British aristocrats, and s supersized villain you will love to hate. With whimsy and pathos, humor and heart, Mila is writing for her life.
