This special anthology is the first one created to deliver that special magic to adults struggling with memory loss, their families, friends and caregivers.

Step into 60 original flash fiction stories that are short enough, between 500 and 750 words, to recall. Get carried along a path of unexpected plots that warm the heart, give chills, stir laughter and surprise.

Meet memorable characters who despite life circumstances reach higher and set their own course; characters who influence opinions about people and situations; characters who inspire.

“Peer through the window into a world of emotions. From the aching loss on a one-lane bridge to the tangled memories that fill an empty box, each story in this collection leads you step by step through heartache and hope, until you realize that you’re not looking through a window at all, but into a mirror.”
—Monica Sanchez, PhD, Co-editor, Storytelling: Interdisciplinary and Intercultural Perspectives.

Read flash fiction by established and emerging writers from the United States and the United Kingdom who come with a rainbow of backgrounds — organic farmers and backyard chicken farmers, a retired judge, university professors, visual artists, poets, actors and screenwriters, musicians, dog lovers, pastry chefs, a handful of bartenders, a former morgue attendant, obituary writer— each one with a compelling story to tell.

Enjoy the evocative photographs that accompany several stories. Images touch the heart in a way that words and the mind cannot reach.

So, dive in, read to your loved one, and share with family and friends.

Connect, converse and share the magic of storytelling!

Store Description

GloryBe Books & Ephemera, LLC is an on-line out-of-print book and ephemera marketplace. Our goal is to offer accurately described items at reasonable prices. Libraries will be able to stretch their book budgets and supplement their inventory. Academicians, bibliographers, researchers, collectors, and avid readers will discover that they can obtain a valued book or pamphlet for less than an alternative version of the original item. After over forty years in the book business there remains no greater joy than to connect an excited customer with a book or pamphlet needed to further research, add to a collection, find a favorite book to share with a child or simply locate a copy of a book written or illustrated by a family member. GloryBe Books & Ephemera was founded by a bibliophile with nearly five decades of experience who has decided to offer his private eclectic stock for sale. Items acquired from scholars, academicians, publishers, import book distributors, private collectors and renowned booksellers will be catalogued and added on a weekly basis. We believe we will be sustained in this endeavor by your letter of appreciation that your item arrived in a timely manner, accurately described at a fair price. We look forward to hearing from you.
