The lens through which we see the world shapes our experience in it. By adjusting our angle of vision, sweetness can be seen rising up from destruction, the sublime can burst from the commonplace, and tragedy can be reconfigured to enkindle a sense of empowerment. Sometimes in our lives, our vision gets blurred and we become lost in the darkness. This richly illustrated book of true short stories is like a crack in that darkness. As you read it, the light streams in.
