Many of the stories discuss stories and poems about relationships that are more spiritual and personal to the heart. There are also some stories here that appeal to the humorous side, hoping to give you a smile and showing the more humorous side to relationships that impact our lives regardless of how small or great in significance. This book will not have romantic stories about romance, but rather more about the inner turning point in each man’s life and what or who helped to change them to move in a more positive direction in life.
