This is my short collection of short stories and poetry.

I have included some reviews of this collection – as this says more than anything. This is not all of the reviews but some from Amazon USA.

• Rich glimpses into lives at points of deep emotions fill these pages. The ability to bring these sentiments to life was amazing. There were detailed settings, developed characters, and important ideas to consider.
  
  The author has a gift to create the perfect atmosphere for each story. There is a wonderful range from moody to intense. Dancing Shoes was my favorite, but there wasn’t a weak one in the bunch. Grace was intense to read. So impressive.
  
  I love the mix of real emotion with the fictional. The narration is stunning. I would love to read more from Suzanne Strong.

• 5 beautifully written stories. The characters behaviors and inner thoughts are well described in a realistic yet poetic style. One character struggles with unmet childhood needs and drug dependency; another a father who loses his son in the Palestine-Israeli conflict. An insightful look into humanity.

• My favorite story in this collection is “Grace” which is based on a true story. Although it is a familiar story of love and forgiveness, but it remains a timeless message that’s worth repeating. While the stories are short, they’re no less impactful and many of them left a poignant impression upon me. A short read which will leave you with lots to ponder about life.

• A Creative Collection revolves around self-reflection, resilience, and the beauty of the human experience, with stories that evoke introspection and emotion. She has a knack for getting to the heart of the moment with just a few words, keeping the reader engaged with clear prose still layered with meaning. Although the stories are short, the characters felt real, allowing me to project my own thoughts and feelings onto their experiences. We often overlook smaller moments in life, and this was a nice reminder to slow down and consider them. Meaning is found in the ordinary, and what makes this work stand out is its ability to evoke emotion with brevity. This book is ideal for people who appreciate short but meaningful pieces, and the alternation between prose and poetry keeps the experience fresh and engaging throughout.

• In this collection of short stories, Suzanne Strong brings you moving stories in various settings- from adoring fans in a stadium to an overdose ending in a hospital room, awkward lessons in a dance studio, donations from a dead boy in the hospital, a visit to see a dying man in the hospital, the scent of a dead woman’s perfume.
  
  Suzanne Strong spins tales of different lives, with the exception of one story that’s based on a true story, “the real life story of Ahmed who lost his life in Israel/Jenin in 2005…”
