Life has a way of leaving marks-some bruises, some scars, some permanent shifts in the soul. In this collection of raw and unforgettable stories, Carla Miles gives voice to people caught in the undertow of everyday tragedy, fractured relationships, and the quiet cruelty that seeps into ordinary lives. These are stories of desperate choices and fleeting moments of grace-where a single action can tilt a life toward ruin or redemption.
With unflinching honesty and dark flashes of humor, Mean explores what it costs to survive when the world won't stop pushing back. These characters are messy, human, and real-people you might pass on the street without ever knowing what storms they're carrying inside. Sometimes gritty, often poignant, and always deeply human, this is a collection for anyone who's ever tried to hold it together when the world came undone.
