Prepare to be swept away by this captivating collection of 21 short stories that will touch your heart, stir your soul, and ignite your imagination. You will travel with a rich cast of characters - sometimes fragile, sometimes strong, always unforgettable - as they experience the weight of memory and the whisper of things to come, love and loss, and moments both deeply personal and universally true.
- A teenager planning his escape from the lonely futuristic world in which he lives, where 'Alone Together' is its motto and isolation is the law of the land.
- A centenarian who must answer a seemingly simple question-what does she want for her 100th birthday? -as her past and present collide in a bittersweet reverie.
- A newly married college student who vows to rewrite his future by breaking the cycle of early death that has plagued his forefathers.
- A young woman with car trouble who is seemingly transported into a steamy Victorian age romance novel when a handsome stranger stops to offer his help.
If Not for Marilyn is a testament to the quiet strength and resilience of the human spirit. With each story, you'll be reminded that life is a delicate balance of joy and sorrow, and that even in our darkest moments, there is always a flicker of light. From the whimsical to the profound, this collection is a journey you won't soon forget.
