Description
There are unseen forces in our lives that shape who we are and what we become. How we respond to those forces determines our futures. These stories examine how characters respond to the unexpected. Do we carry our memories of the beautiful moments of life with us into death? And, ultimately, what do we value in life that defines us--from a hat to the shadow of a figure in a window reminding us of what we have lost or need to hold onto.

It is often said that the short story format is one of the hardest to successfully master and certainly to produce such a collection of diverse and constantly thought provoking stories is quite an achievement. The stories all have elements of fate and many have a dream like surreal content. Indeed dreams and their importance occur in several of the tales. Two that particularly stood out for me were the "Day I was born " that looked at how two people's lives born at the same time and at the same place can have dramatically different outcomes and "Chance" a story of fate and the possibility of predestined forces that may effect our future.
Well written, insightful, told in the first and third person these stories show the versatility of the author. There are many comedic, moving and indeed. profound elements to these stories which make you think of the randomness of life and how decisions taken sometimes without full thought can have lasting consequences. I thoroughly enjoyed these tales and can recommend this strongly to those who enjoy the short story format.
