The short story collection you are about to read takes place in a mental illness pandemic. It is fiction, but it won't feel that way. If you have ever felt stress, or sadness, or hopelessness-and let's face it, in light of Covid-19, most of us have-you will likely see yourself in one of the characters in these stories. If you have ever been frustrated by mixed media messages, societal pressures, or even overbearing parents, there is something in this book for you. Open it up and find it.
