Review

There are 3 short stories that have something of a common theme running through them – that you shouldn’t take life for granted.

I think my favorite of the three was the second story about Nathan, a man that comes over from India to the US to get an advanced degree and is sucked into the world most Americans are exposed to at an early age – credit and the pitfalls. But it starts off even earlier than that when he stops a woman from jumping off a bridge his first day in the US. The story comes full circle when she helps him at the end. That is all I want to say so as not to give away too much.

My second favorite was the first story about Franck and his pregnant wife and wanting to provide a better life for all of them and working like crazy to try and do that but losing sight of what is more important – family.

All three are good stories and make you think about your life and situation and what you might do in their shoes.

We give this 4 paws up.
