Everybody needs love, everybody wants to be loved, Emma Calin explores love for the ordinary person. She cleverly weaves a tale of people in situations that seem hopeless, and with keen insight showed the true face of helplessness and hopelessness turning into despair. In Sub Prime, we meet Mike his wife and small baby Mike is lost his job struggling to make mortgage payment so he takes an unusual job it is hard to go to work every day seeing how the other half lives without seemingly a care in the world.The novel that deals with domestic violence and disability, it is a sad commentary on life that this has to be the subject of any of books but it is a fact of life for so many in the world today. I found it difficult to read it considering the fact that I'm a survivor, but in the end I made it through, the ending was a nice surprise. Wish that my situation had ended so beautifully.The books and stories are very short so it's difficult to tell you about them without giving away the ending or the plot all I can say is that this is one of the better collections to come out this year and it is well worth a read. All of us need a gentle reminder,from time to time,that the world in which we live is not always peaches and cream.
