There is something for everyone in this debut collection of nine compelling short stories. Offering a lineup of varied, colourful characters, The Stories That Make US spans from World War II to the present, from love to hate, and from joy to anguish, and everthing in between. In this rare gem of a collection, you feel as if you're living in the skin of its characters. And when the epiphanies come for better or for worse they ring like hammer blows upon the forge of life.
