Hour of Adversity - Mac O'Shea - Bog

What is someone's character? How do you know someone else's, and how do you recognize your own? According to author Mac O'Shea, character shows itself during times of personal hardship and under nearly unbearable circumstances. Your character comes through when you are faced with an impossible choice. You can choose to continue, or you can choose to give up.
In the twelve stories of this new collection, Hour of Adversity, O'Shea takes you to such moments in twelve different vignettes. His characters, from a vivacious young soldier to a Lakota medicine man, are taken to the edge of what they can bear, and he shows you exactly what they choose to do about it.
Bad things can happen to good people, regardless of circumstance. It's what they decide to do when those bad moments appear that really matters. Some buckle under the pressure. Others rise to the occasion.
O'Shea's stories encompass a variety of different literary genres and take you on a journey across time and space. While his work shows the worst things that can happen to a human, it also shows the strength of the human spirit and the hope that lingers in the darkest of moments.
