An anthology of fifteen stories, each from a different perspective from the average.

Born and raised on a farm in the hills of Missouri, Cela Kuhne was a classical example of ignorance. At the age of thirteen, she had no idea of how big the world really was. Torn from the only home she'd known and thrown into the 'Big City' environment, she quickly learn just how naive she had been. Orphaned at twenty-one, Cela discovered that her mother had talents that had never been revealed to the world. Cela was suddenly incredibly wealthy, at least by her own limited standard. Remembering her mother's words as she lay dying, Cela set out to learn as much as she could and changed her life in ways that she'd had no idea were possible. 'That's Life' is a story of bitterness and redemption, and it may open others' eyes, too.

A social outcast and street person at the age of 17, Elise Fontaine followed her dreams and never looked back. Talented in way she had yet to discover, she took what life offered her with emotional maturity and determination. Her code of ethics kept her helping others. Her passion about her work made her some enemies but many more friends. Her creative genius gave rise to accusations of sabotage and accolades from the powers that be. What more could a young woman ask of life? Ahh, that's the rub. She wanted someone to love her for herself, and endured both kidnapping and heartbreak in the attempt to find that man.

This is an anthology of short science fiction, paranormal and metaphysical stories
