   Book 122: The Cemetery of Untold Stories. An author from the Dominican Republic retires from her job teaching writing in Vermont and decides to go back to her homeland and say goodbye to all of her unfinished projects by building a cemetery for them. But the stories sometimes demand to be told. A tinge of magical realism enhances this look at the history of the Dominican Republic and the people who stayed, and left.
