Description: What happens when someone shares a story with us - a true story, a story from their heart-of-hearts? We feel connected. We realize the commonality of our emotions. How we are, as human beings, all the same. We all falter. We all fear. We all stumble. And we can all come back stronger. This book contains those stories.
Review Quotes:
"Wise and unforgettable, you'll be entranced by this journey back into the lives of these original voices on a search for truth. Reflecting on the moments when the world as they knew it came to an end, Dammit's authors invite us to engage the same deep questions, emerging from the experience both wrung out and uplifted. These stories are as compulsively readable as popcorn in a scary movie!" -- Sue Stauffacher, Author of Donuthead and Other Children's Books
"Siblings, creeps, fighters, strangers and friends who help us face the strangeness of life. These are the true characters in Dammit who show us, as one writer learns, that it's 'my responsibility to find the truth' and keep on going. These are all our stories. Read one, you'll come back for more." -- Ron Steffens, Educator/Author
"Dammit, I Learned a Lot from That Son-of-a-Gun is moving, funny and crisply written. All of us have met characters--some of whom had profound influence on us--and this collection will remind you of them and how they changed your life. It's a quick and riveting read, one with which you'll be happy to have spent time." -- Drey Samuelson, U.S. Senate Chief of Staff
"Memories leave an imprint on who we are, and there's no escape from the past. As you read these stories, you'll find yourself turning around, perhaps glancing over your shoulder. For there's another version of you, that lovable twin inall its glory. The one who lived, laughed, survived and eventually thrived." -- Patricia Menick, Sculptor and Installation Artist
