We see them every day. The familiar faces who form the quiet fabric of ordinary life. But beneath the surface, each carries a story few ever hear. A school crossing patrol who watches the rhythm of a community unfold before her eyes and suffers the consequences. A Catholic priest struggling with a crises of faith that threatens everything he has devoted his life to. A troubled mind searching for help in the midst of a gathering storm. A parishioner who senses something changing in the man meant to guide the congregation. A shopkeeper fighting to keep his family business alive in a world that that seems to foster passive racism and shoplifting. And a man burdened by a gift that reveals more than he sometimes wishes to know.
Through six intimate and powerful monologues, Reflections 2: Echoes beneath the surface explores doubt, belief, endurance and the hidden struggles that shape our lives.
Sometimes the most profound battles are the ones fought quietly, out of sight, beneath the surface of the everyday.
Each story was well written and the characters were believable. I had read Reflections 1 which was very good, and Reflections 2 didn't disappoint. I am hoping there will be a Reflections 3!
