Julie Maxwell’s life is aglow with the promise of happily-ever-after - a wonderful husband, a new home, and an art studio of her own. She is living her dream, until suddenly, she isn’t. One of life’s random blows changes everything and Julie finds herself in an abyss of fear and grief. Immobilized by tragedy and unable to climb out of her despair, Julie descends into isolation. But life can be as benevolent as it can be cruel, and hope can find you no matter where you are. In the most unexpected way, Julie encounters an irascible little character named Ulysses, who is facing a devastating challenge of his own. She realizes there is always someone worse off than you are and feels compelled to try and help him. Before long, though, Julie finds herself wondering, who is really helping who here. Together, this unlikely pair embark on a spirited journey through the tears and fears of letting go, learning how to believe in yourself, and the magical things that can happen when you do. Endearing, inspiring, and entertaining, A One-Legged Cricket fills your heart with hope and leaves you smiling and wishing there were more.
