Racing against time to save a life. Family dramas. Origin stories. Life and death. Talking bears. Stories you’d expect to stream or watch on television are true tales lived by people you pass on the street, meet at work, sit beside at the cafe.

This is a collection centred on people who’ve embarked on a journey of self-discovery and in turn shared deeply personal moments. Connect with their struggles, accomplishments, and experiences told from relatable perspectives. Reading these narratives reminds us that everyone has a story to tell. We hope this book uncovers connections to yours, stirs your emotions, and inspires you to share your story.
