    About this ebook

    LIFE'S PAINS showcases three different characters whose lives could be better off. "Giving Up" features a pessimistic teen and a caring teacher doing his best to show his student the brighter side of life. A young girl's curiosity is piqued in "My Sister" as we see her follow a mysterious Mariachi through a club. "Forever" tells the tale of a lone child who escapes an orphanage and goes through a journey of denial and ultimately acceptance. This collection of three stories is a reminder that even in those bittersweet moments where happiness dies down, hope should always live on.
