The Museum of Misunderstood Creatures

The Museum of Misunderstood Creatures does not appear on maps and cannot be visited on
purpose. People find it only when something inside them begins to ache in a way they can no
longer ignore.
The museum houses a series of exhibits, each giving form to an ache that is often dismissed,
misunderstood, or quietly endured. These creatures are not myths to be observed from a distance,
but mirrors. Visitors move through the rooms slowly, recognizing pieces of themselves they have
never had language for before.
This book is a lyrical, reflective novel about emotional endurance and the unnoticed adaptations
we carry through ordinary life. It is for anyone who has ever felt misunderstood by their own
coping, and wondered what it might look like to finally see it held.
