| Behind the doors of each character in these stories are a world of turmoil, and some triumph. This collection of short stories delves into a variety of disturbing situations and relationships based on choices involving legacies of dysfunction. Through tragedy and struggle, you might experience the burden of being stuck, or relief with enlightenment, realizing that there are choices and opportunities in life. Take the journey through the lives in these stories and become mesmerized with their consequences. The realization is that life can be abundant and beautiful if we are open to receiving opportunities and blessings, rather than being anchored by obstacles of façade and fantasy. |

| (Language warning, adult theme... although I believe that some teens might benefit from reading about how tragic and devastating life can be if you have low self esteem.) Mine Eyes is the 8th story in the book, Struck By Lightning and other bolts of reality. It is a short story about a woman who recklessly searches for love, and men who take the opportunity to satisfy their desires at her expense. Tragically, low self-esteem rears it's ugly head as denial, which is the mechanism by which the blinders could be set for the woman allows herself to be abused. |
