Beschreibung
Take your torch and brace yourself,
it might get dark when you dive deep
These texts are not about the sunny side of life.
Rather, they deal with the scenes that are staged in the shadows, that don’t fit into tiny, polished squares to be presented on the virtual pin board of one’s life. These are the stories that rarely are the first ones you tell someone on a second date, the ones that you try to hide, the ones that rarely see the sunlight, the ones that aren’t easy to narrate, the ones that yet and still are part of life.
This book aims at shifting the untold stories from the shadows into the light. Because they are worth it. Because they need to be accepted as part of life. Because they deserve to be told.
“This author is no doubt an astute observer of human experiences, exploring deeply the turmoil that lingers on in the confines of the heart, desperate to come out, often surrendering to silence.”
