1Everyone has a story to tell! Some are exciting, some are mundane. Some are new and others are old. If the story is told in a way that readers can relate to, it becomes difficult to put down. This book entails a number of stories and articles written to entertain and, in many cases, to educate the reader about the world we live in and how to achieve success in it. Some are true, some are not. But each is constructed in such a way that it will force the reader to consider a different way of looking at life and the world. As a friend of mine said, "This really is an enthralling collection of short stories with a variety of topics including a fantastical tale of a 19th-century robber and a little boy who runs away from home and eventually returns after nearly freezing to death. This collection covers a wide range of emotion. Readers will find themselves turning page after page without a stop of this charming collection."
