This book is a collection of verbal snapshots of the lives of various people. Each story or metaphor describes a definitive moment in the life of a person.

The themes are universal and not associated to any particular group or culture.

The stories tend to touch on a nerve in the reader’s own experience and make us think about what is really important in life. They indicate that we are not alone in how we experience life, and all experiences we have are necessary because they shape us into the people we are.
