Beyond the Clouds: Two minutes tales for women on the go

 

Beyond the Clouds: Two minutes tales for women on the go by Megan Bekkedahl and Melaina Lausen

 

This is a compilation of short stories by seven women who have a passion for writing. All stories are told from the female’s point of view. Sounds great already. As a woman, you will relate to the anxiety, sorrow, doubts, happiness, and laughter weaved throughout the book in the lives of various characters. Many of us have experienced exactly what the characters portray. No doubt as you turn the pages, you will reminisce many times. Each story stands alone and is not tied into any of the other stories. So get ready for something totally different as you jump from one story to another. In some cases the predictable; in others, the bizarre.

• If you would have to suddenly start dating again in your life, how would you feel?
• Do you get tired of picking up after your mate or significant other? Think what would be worse than this small chore you perform every day?
• Are there any sentimental items that remind you of your mother?
• Did you have mixed feelings when you went to your first class reunion? Or, are you anticipating your first class reunion?
• If you have a strained relationship with one of your family members, how long will it last?
• When it comes to acts of kinds, do you rise above the crowd? Or, do you blend in with the “do nothings.”
• How bad did YOU react the first day your child started school?There are a few surprises also in the book. A couple stories actually border on the strange and bizarre. One story actually gave me goosebumps. My favorite story was Ara’s Ring. This is a story of two sisters in a war-torn country. You will want to read it several times with a tissue in one hand.
