Inhaltsangabe

The stories in this collection are beautifully crafted fiction however the roots of each story reach deep into a wellspring of human experience familiar to us all. The large events in life tend to have the greatest impact on character and we remember those challenging moments that cause us to feel and we continue to share the stories. Throughout history, humans have gathered to tell their stories and learn from the experience. The author offers readers an opportunity to wander this common ground and relate to each story from their own perspective. A visit to a men’s group inside maximum-security prison contains the same measure of tenderness as an intimate backyard fire built by uncles and intended to send a teenage daughter off into the world. A frozen windswept lake in the US evokes the same connection to nature found in the African savannah. Readers will find their own lives and emotion reflected throughout this book. To discover and build our true character we must repeat what people have done for thousands of years. We must throw ourselves fully into life and tell the stories. Humor, grief, children, and illness all weave gracefully through the collection detailing the day-to-day process of building character. Every story casts a long shadow into our shared human experience.
