"What's In A Story?" It is a collection of short stories from the heart, based on true events from the author's life. Mainly during childhood. How accurate are these stories? Well, they are as accurate as my mind can recall in my old age. To me, the stories are memorable times in my life that helped shape who I am today. A few of these stories may be hard for some to read because of their violent and abusive nature. I have added a warning at the beginning of these stories so you can skip them if you wish. However, I do end all my stories on a positive note. The God I know never said that life would be easy. And that our adversities in our lives are there to strengthen and teach us. Anyone who has read the Holy Bible will tell you that all the greats in the Bible made mistakes and had challenges to overcome. Each story in this book is about a teaching moment in my life, and the lessons I learned from it. I share these personal stories in the hope they give insight into your own life. From that insight, you can draw a positive experience from your own stories.
