Description: This is a collection of twelve short stories from the edge: the edge of society but also the edge of darkness. Dark as these stories may appear, they reflect a view of the shining recoverability of the human spirit and the qualities of stoicism, wit, humour and irony that aid survival and can bring about recovery and growth.
