Darryl Armstrong’s short story collection, Between the Tracks, is a compelling and entertaining journey through the complexity of being human. Readers experience the joy, sorrow and adventure of life through Armstrong’s observant eye and remarkable mastery of drawing you into every sentence. Between the Tracks is a reminder that humans—and animals—thrive on meaningful connections. Long after you’ve read the last chapter, you’ll feel inspired to text less and initiate real conversations with people you love, people you don’t know—even people you don’t particularly like. Only a few books can capture life’s ebb and flow, providing a path to more fulfilling relationships. Between the Tracks is a rare gem worthy of reading.
