Can fiction create awakenings? Only you, the reader, can decide.The ten stories in this collection have many scenes, actions, settings, conflicts, moments. Different characters create awakenings--sometimes without knowing it--for one another, for themselves, and for others. We all have those moments: a word, a phrase, a look, an event, or just a thought that passes and then returns and then grows and then...we awaken! Many times, we do not realize the moments that made that impact until time has passed. And sometimes we do not see the moments in ourselves at all, yet we do see them in others. Perhaps we do not have to see inside ourselves in order to be awakened.
