This collection of 26 flash fiction stories started out as my project for the annual A to Z Blogging Challenge. Since I failed and only finished half of them, I pushed myself to write the rest in the following months. Although the stories turned out to be fairly difficult for me to write, I think anyone who reads them will enjoy and relate to at least one of them. Each story contains a look at one of 23 different characters. Well, technically 24 characters, but you’ll see what I mean.
Each story is a heart-warming piece of life, meant to inspire and spread happiness to those who read them. My goal was to create characters with problems that the average person can relate to. Each story and character is unique. With a dash of magic, the people you’ll read about will help you learn to celebrate and embrace your individuality.

I read this after I read Where the Carnies are.
It's great to find out the origin of the characters like this. It complements the book.
Mostly we get to know how they first change into what they're meant to be like.
The struggle they go through is what makes them unique.
It also made me remember some of my dreams and part of my purpose I think.
Thanks so much for that!
Forever grateful!

A really good preview of the book which I immediately started reading. Love all the characters and the story line is very inventive.
