DISCOVERIES
A
Journey Through Life
by

Ann Parker
What
is your book about and who is it for?
DISCOVERIES, A Journey through Life is a collection of my short
stories about family life and friendships: the joys, the sadness, the
frustrations, the need to escape.
There’s a strong sense of wonder about the world and a good dash
of humor where it fits. And I’m pleased to introduce magical realism to
readers who might not have come across that before. The book is for
everyone who appreciates an uplifting collection of well-written stories
in the worlds that are happening all around them.
Benefits
for the reader –
Why
is the book different?
With warmth, humor and imagination, it deals with the everyday and
the not-so-everyday experiences that are happening all around us to people
we know and don’t know.
Why
is the book better?
It’s delightfully original and engrossing. The stories can be
read one at a time or one after the other! The stories are positive and
uplifting, something the world needs now more than ever.
Why
would anyone buy this book over another?
The
author has a deep understanding of the human condition. I know how
relationships are, as opposed to how they’re supposed to be. Not many
writers tackle these family and friendship themes with honesty and humor
and with a sense of wonder.
What
can it do for others?
It
gives them insight into what’s going on around them. It validates their
own dreams, the dreams of people who are trapped in lives of not-so-quiet
desperation.
What
is the purpose of the book?
To entertain people, of course, but also to let them know other families,
other individuals share the same joys and frustrations, laughter and
sadness of daily life. To let them know they’re not alone when they feel
trapped and desperate because they don’t think things will ever change.
Who is
your audience?
Anyone
who appreciates a good, story, expertly and delightfully told. That
includes Moms, Dads, Young Adults, Grandmas and Grandpas, Aunts and
Uncles, and all you Professors out there!
