This anthology of short stories and poems had me riveted to my chair from the intro. It contains something for everyone from Jason Parent's moving and inspirational story of a man who lost part of himself to the ocean years ago to the emotional and stressful story of Sea Bright by Ali Isaac of a woman going through a difficult pregnancy. Also, the first entry by Mark Bell of Boo and his frog Jasper from the Appalachians tugged at the heart strings and left me wanting for more. I was glad when I discovered two more of his stories later on in the book.Apart from what I mentioned, there are many stories and poems in this anthology for any reader's taste, whether it be heartfelt stories or suspenseful stories by Anthea Carson or fantasy by K.A. Krisko. So many good writers in this book make it impossible to mention them all.The book is edited well with just the right amount of different types of short stories and poems to keep the reader actively reading. It opened my eyes to the wonderful talents of authors I had never heard of and, therefore, will read more of their books.
