A single decision can save - or ruin - a life. An opportunistic baby theft by a young woman in pain. Two strangers shipwrecked on a lifeless rock, unable to speak the same language. A remote cycling holiday descends into terror. One woman seeks the courage to destroy her life. A miracle unites a community, and teenagers take a stand against hypocrisy. Karl Drinkwater presents characters to root for - and characters to dread - in sixteen varied tales of humanity, endurance, and psychological suspense.
