6 THINGS WE SHARE

The Six Things We Share is a collection of six short stories centered on themes of happiness, sadness, fear, disgust, anger, and surprise. These themes were not randomly chosen; rather, they represent the six emotions that are common to all people around the world, regardless of of culture, history or language. The stories found here were written to elicit these emotions from you, the reader. In this book you will find tales of sordid vengeance, unrequited love, blind rage, cowardice and greed. You will also find stories of young love, friendship, sisterhood, justice and redemption. Some of the characters are psychopaths, others are well-meaning but misunderstood, one of them tries to pull off the perfect caper, and another takes a journey into darkness. One common thread woven through all six stories is the character of Nora Lynn Donovan. In each story, she may be featured or she may only play an indirect role, but she will be mentioned. Pay attention to Nora, as her experience will run the gamut of emotions.
