Traveling with Words—Stepping off the Familiar Path: Volume 1

By Ana Lydia Peeks

Under the framework of what are quirky humorous narratives, the author illustrates that there isnt a situation, challenge, or life experience that cant be handled as exquisitely as these storytellers did.

Ana encourages readers to contemplate these narratives. And when obstacles occur, dont worry! As the author notes: remember these sweet storytellers and step off the familiar path and move forward!
