Pearls of Daily Life – Short Stories and Poems on Self-discovery
“Pearls of Daily Life” invites to experience together with diverse but amicable characters the joy of rediscovering one’s Self in various situations of everyday life. While the interspersed poems describe moments of relaxation and sparks of beauty in daily life, the short stories are also about addressing challenges such as re-discovery of an old hobby-passion, conflict of a couple about the holiday destination, reflecting on a break-up, burn-out prevention or feelings of loneliness.
