Ivanka Fear

Ivanka lives in Ontario, Canada and has degrees in English and French literature. She has retired from teaching after 34 years and operates a retail store and works as a postal clerk. Of late, Ivanka has revived a lifelong dream of writing serious literature and has had a good deal of success.

“Changing Spots” is a moralistic tale of a kind that would be quite at home in French literature. Leona and her family are persecuted and forced to flee when they are “spotted” by neighbors who realize that the family is somehow different from everyone else. The neighbors are wrong, of course, because Leona and her family are peaceable and friendly. However, the neighbors may be right to fear shape-shifters whose other shape is that of a dangerous predator. Rather like human beings, one might say.
