Description
How well do we really know the people in our lives?
Is it true that what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger?
Wives, husbands, siblings, acquaintances, and colleagues discover that the answers to these questions are not simple, as they contend with deception, secrecy, and mixed signals in their relationships with each other.
They try to deal with life-changing ordeals.
But the aftermaths are not what they envisioned.
Advance Praise
"The International Review of Books has awarded Survivable Losses (written under the pseudonym Francesca Stokes) their Gold badge of achievement, and has written the following review:
Stokes left me with the uncanny feeling of looking deep into the character’s soul only to see my own reflection. The experience was like looking into a mirror, a mirror that, if I stood before it long enough, threatened to reveal things I hadn’t known were there.
One is left with the sense of watching a mind travelling between planes of existence. Thus, I suggest the reader take a holistic approach to the work, rather than view each story as a discrete unit. "

Bonnye Reed F, Reviewer
I received a free electronic ARC of this collection of dire short stories from Netscape, Francesca Stokes, and BooksGoSocial publishers on December 2, 2020. Thank you all for sharing your hard work with me. I have read this collection of short stories of my own volition, and this review reflects my honest opinion of this work. These were all thought-provoking, interesting stories that made me look at my personal whinings on a different scale. I have to admit that several times during my reading of these stories I questioned the timing of the publishers. Perhaps these well-versed tales would be more appreciated in a time of joy, rather than the end of 2020, with 11 months of the pandemic, a faltering economy, and isolation widespread across our land. Or conversely, it may be what it takes for us to accept the necessity of these limits and soldier on. Life is hard. Harder lately. But we can do this.
