    About this ebook

    Nostalgia, love, hope – three words to describe the themes of these six short stories. While the characters portrayed may experience some sort of disappointment, they always see the positive side in the end. There may even be an awakening of sorts and a desire to go on enjoying life. Read these stories to discover the answers to these questions:
    Does everyone want to go to war for their country? Is it ever too late to link up with an old school friend? Why can we find it so difficult to shake off an old romance? Are we ever too old to want to look beautiful? Do we really want to discover old family secrets? Is it possible to keep doing what we love forever?
