Synopsis
Life is difficult. Things are going to come around that will make you hurt, that will make you grieve, that will make you sigh or curse or question everything. And often the only good short-term solution is to just keep living it. But it is in living it that we overcome it.
The five stories in this collection are about people dealing with life in all its messiness – putting their dreams on the line, escaping bad situations, finding romance in unlikely circumstances, starting out and starting over and coming home and running away. They're children and parents, bosses and employees, friends and strangers. Their problems are a lot like ours, and their solutions are all over the map. They're heroes of the everyday – just like us. Take a look at:
* "Daydreamers" – John's ultimate goal isn't working in a warehouse. But will his boss understand that his ambitions are bigger than forty hours a week?
* “The One They Didn't Notice” – She wasn't wanted by her parents, but they had her anyway. And that can affect a child in some very strange ways ...
* "American Girl" – Lisa left a broken home and traveled far and wide before returning. But it's where she's been – and who she's met – that has made her the woman she's become.
* "The End of It All" – It's never a good day to come home and find that your husband's been stepping out on you. But one woman soon finds that there are troubles far greater – and farther reaching – than an unfaithful spouse.
* "Assistance" – Gerry was looking for a personal assistant. Rebecca was looking for a job, any job. Perhaps they could help each other ... and in more ways than just work.
Have you gone through, or are you still going through? Either way, these stories are for you.
