Here lies back to back non-fiction short stories of those around me. These stories derived from proposed interviews and created a story line of various aged people, from teens to those who were alive during the last World War. It tells of parents who have experienced tragedy and beauty and young adults who overcame dramatic transitions in their life. Each experience is ordered chronologically based on each age. This read would be for those who are curious about the lives of others, those who have been through hurt and are able to relate to others well. It's for those who listen and understand the meaning of life in their own way and invite other definitions with open arms. It's about perspective and connecting with the experiences of all the strangers and lovers around us.
