A collection of vignettes about lives that share nothing in common except their profound, first-degree human realism. In this short story collection, author Doha Assi offers us a chance to see the world through its diverse social strata and human characteristics. We meet people defeated by evil and others who pursued goodness until their last moments. The stories make us pause at life's tests, the ones we often overlook amid our busyness and exhaustion. Ultimately, the author leaves us deeply satisfied with her elegant expressions and sincere wisdom in every tale.
