Sometimes, life is more intricate than any fantasy plot. If you enjoy reading a heartfelt story that could have happened in reality with someone you know, definitely check out these books by the talented authors.
“The Ice Widow” by Anne M. Smith-Nochasak
“Humans are the ones who construct love with walls around it”
“The Ice Widow” is a multi-layered portrayal of the paths we take in life. Just like people in real life, fictional characters in this story don’t always make it right. They stumble and fall. They see and do indecent, ugly things. They suffer. And they die. But also, like every one of us, if they don’t drive themselves down the precipice, they continue looking for an anchor. And for some, the sun rays sneaking through between the branches of the tree tops show them the way. Not necessarily to a perfect happily-ever-after with all the ingredients served neatly on a plate. But always to a sanctuary, designed especially for them. Simply because they have carved its walls themselves – by living.
“Fee Simple Conditional” by H. C. Helfand
“I was, in the vernacular, a title gnome who slaved away in the galley of a Land Record office, surrounded by crumbling and musty books telling the tales of land ownership.”
As Abigail navigates through her unexpected career in Dependable Title, spending more and more time among the quirky inhabitants of the local Land Record office, she learns a few secrets she would have been happy not to ever uncover. Some are related to her job duties, while others turn her family life upside down.
“The Everlasting Dance” by Ellen Khodakivska
Marcus and Linda are young, enthusiastic about the careers they’ve chosen, and passionate about their futures. It’s no wonder they have been singled out by fate. They’ve been given the most precious gift people can dream of. But it so happens sometimes that not the twists of fate serve as obstacles on one’s path to happiness. Sometimes it’s people who build walls within themselves.
A beautiful story of life choices and fateful decisions.
“Happy to Have Nothing” by Stuart Hobrow
They say that hardships make us stronger. After losing her mother, Mel would laugh in your face if you tried to comfort her with these words of general wisdom. The truth is that every person deals with hardships and grief in their own way, and not always even those who love us can find the right words to help us.
It’s a book that makes those who are reading it, think, smile, maybe shed a tear or two. It affects you in the same ways as life itself. And like life, it surprises us, just when we think that we’ve seen it all and nothing can make us believe in miracles again.
