    About this ebook

    The stories are glimpses into the lives of women and men, parents, and children. They explore the fundamental questions of growing up, of loss, of being lost, of learning to love, of how powerful or fragile we can be, of the randomness in our lives and of our capacity for transmutation.

    They are a refreshment for the spirit and a celebration of life, hope and love in its various forms.
