Almost everyone can relate to the characters in this book. They are varied and as real as life itself. There is humor, struggle, and life like it is with all its goodness, disappointments and hope. You will want to read these stories over and over again. The trouble will be that if somebody is over your house and reads one of these stories while they are waiting for you to get out of the shower or making lunch then they will want to borrow the book and you will never see it again. These stories are addicting like eating potato chips, you cannot just read one, you will want to read them all.
