If this was your life, what would you do?From a mother meeting her son's murderer, to a wife's despair and desire for revenge when her beloved cat dies, this is a collection of stories about troubled lives.

And as the protagonists struggle to cope in adversity, some find themselves capable of unexpected courage and resilience, while for others adapting to difficult circumstances appears impossible.

Son explores the dilemma of discovering a family crime, whether to expose it, or assist concealing the evidence. In Just for a While, a foster child knows that the understanding and stability she finds with her new carer will be short-lived.
