For any reader who likes a finely-turned tale, here are stories of simple human experience; love and sacrifice, loss and recovery, failure and redemption, human strengths and human frailties. The characters are living, breathing people who make the right decisions or screw up terribly, who fall in love at first sight and stay in love forever, who find the strength to stand up to life's challenges. They will be new to you and familiar at the same time. Reading these stories are a rewarding experience.
