Broken doesn't mean finished. Show up anyway.

Some people break quietly. You never see it from the outside. But inside, something refuses. Inside, something holds.

You know that feeling. The eleven voices in this collection know it, too. The weight of life when it hasn't gone the way you wanted. The moment when standing back up takes every bit of energy you have left. The breaking point.

Resolve. Gritty short fiction for resilient readers who still believe in getting back up.
