This book is an amazing book about real life experiences that everyone has to face some day or another. The bad, the good, the ugly and the beautiful. It contains stories about life, death, love, hate, marriage, kids, betrayal, happiness..and the list just goes on and on and on. The stories though are so real that as a reader reads them, they feel as if they are actually there in time. And the reader feels the emotions of the story, and then can related it to their own lives. Often the stories end in a happy note, which brings hope to those suffering with depression on certain issues or events. Basically the stories showed me some better ways and insights on how to deal with disappointments in my life, and how to accept happiness and to never take it for granted.
