    About this ebook

    Generational Dysfunctions Vol. I, is a series of stories about four women’s individual struggles. The stories are outlined by their own poetic piece which gives a small peek into the women’s suffering and pain.
    These women reflect on their choices and decisions they have made which have paved the way to their current state of mind and circumstances. Some of them feel regret and pain. They refuse to accept their circumstances until it is too late. Their pride will not allow them to reveal their true identity of just being human. Then there are the women who will not waiver due to their position and try to embrace their conditions and learn from life’s lessons. They hide from their truths and live by their own selfish reasoning. The women’s reflections allow them to ponder bettering their current situations or living with the choices they have made. Their flaws are their internal scars. Not being self-aware may lead them to accept defeat, which will eventually be detrimental to their sanity.
    Detached, isolated, narcissistic, and deceitful are their imperfections. Their stories touch on issues which women have suffered throughout time. As heartbreaking as some of their realities appear their situations are realistic and relatable. Generational Dysfunctions is about what a woman will tolerate and deem acceptable as it directly relates to their own conditions.

      Living to Get ByTracey married a man who wasn't married to her. He wouldn't work and was very disrespectful. After years of his indiscretions, she leaves for her mom's with her kids.Diana is a single mother of four. She made a vow to always be there for her children. She finds love but chooses her children instead.Veronica is a woman that had it all but lost it due to her unwillingness to let go of the past.Bernice is a woman who has lost sight of who she was and the things she enjoyed. She has created the perfect world only to watch it dissolve in the matter of a week.What do these women have in common? The all have a struggle of some kind. Their issues are some of which we or someone we know have experienced. “Generational Dysfunctions: Perfect Imperfections (Volume 1)” could've been a 5-star read. However, the grammatical errors were a major disappointment and took away from the great stories.Reviewed by: Jas
