Every life journey traverses curves and corners. In Corners: Voices on Change, writers find a way through changes. Their literary essays offer honesty, comfort and humor. Tracing their stories helps us to process our own changing lives. Be inspired by thoughtful lives as the writers deal with grief and loss, reject antiquated patterns of prejudice and selfishness, get fired, engage in war, feel disspointment with God, find a voice, love an addict, choose a new religion, love a Trump-voting spouse when that seems a betrayal, recreate a life when the old normal won't come back, and more.
These voices don't prescribe a singular path to self-actualization. That would be a lie. We all face corners. We have to turn. We must make accommodations, or we get stuck clinging to beliefs and ways of life that can no longer sustain us. The beauty in these very human stories is laden with honesty, triumph, humor, resignation, comfort and insight. The cumulative effect of these personal stories is even greater than the sum of the parts. Readers experience the gallant pursuit of managing responses to change. Writers celebrate and lament the past, but don't cling to it. They find a new normal. They strive. They accept. Read today--for everyone navigating change.
