Sometimes it's the most simple of stories that hit you. Rob Holliday's Hotspots did just that, such poignancy and sadness edged with beautiful description of love and a story that will stay with me. As with The Bridge, by D.M. Kilgore, again something simple, and for a moment I thought too saccharine sweet, but it pulled at my heartstrings and took me to a beautiful place, resonating with me, because my first novel also touches on very similar places.
L.E. Custodio's poem With Heaven as my Guide ...took me to a place of wonder as references made me smile and I was right there lost within those stories.
S.R. Karfelt's brilliant opening line of Portal Potty grabbed me with such intensity that I couldn't stop reading and when I did, my heart broke. My heart also wept for the true stories shared, emotions that again resonated as I've suffered that demon depression and been touched by the sadness of cancer in my life.
This is a collection, from poetry to flash fiction, short stories and novellas to non-fiction that offers you something of everything. Whatever your favourite genre, you'll find something here. A teaser for LaDonna Cole's Torn series has beguiled me and I am looking to discover more from several of these authors.
I've only touched on a few of the stories here, you'll have to buy the anthology to choose your own favourites!
A tender set of pieces coming from pain and suffering, but then its only through the pain and opposition in life that we get to appreciate the best of life! Tales of love, of battle and of a will to triumph...

Excellent collection of short stories. I met one of the writers when she was at a book signing at our local coffee shop. J.S. Bailey lures you in with her prose and keeps you reading.
I enjoyed all the stories by all the authors.

I rarely read collaborative works, but this book blew my mind. New and original, eloquent and flawless...an all around amazing read.
