Step into the wild world of Tom Smario in this unforgettable short story collection that will make you laugh, cry, feel anger or delight, and more. In this impactful collection of nineteen short stories, you'll encounter everyday people living through extraordinary experiences. Centered around the blue-collar workers who keep the engine of society well-oiled, each tale is grounded in lifelike realism. Designed to evoke distinct and powerful reactions, these stories will make readers laugh out loud, feel a deep sense of melancholy, or boil with anger at injustice. You'll encounter lovable characters that you'll cheer on toward their dreams, and others that cause you to shake your head in disbelief-each of them well-crafted and fully developed. Writing in a strong prose, Smario strives to defy the robotic drone that many realistic fiction collections take, instead opting for strong voice and colorful vocabulary. Regardless of each story's tone, every tale in this collection is easy to read, entertaining, and full of vibrant, creative use of the written word. What's more, they'll leave you thinking about the world in entirely new ways, thanks to the novel-but deeply human-events and experiences Smario uncovers.
