    About this ebook

    Under the framework of what are quirky humorous narratives, the author illustrates that there isnt a situation, challenge, or life experience that cant be handled as exquisitely as these storytellers did.

    Ana encourages readers to contemplate these narratives. And when obstacles occur, dont worry! As the author notes: remember these sweet storytellers and step off the familiar path and move forward!

      I’ve Served Time in Prison. Sheltering in Place is Terrifying.

      Apr 7, 2020

      A few months after I got out of prison, a car pulled up outside my apartment. I panicked. It was white, with a dark stripe down the side: a patrol car. Surely, I thought, this was it. The police were here to arrest me. They’d call my parole officer,

      Conclusion

      I dedicate

      this book to Jesus.

      ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

      This book is dedicated to my family and friends. A heartfelt note of appreciation to my beloved brother, James Peeks, who provided guidance and support.

      Lastly, I dedicate this book to those whose sense of humor serves as a beacon of light to illuminate life’s journey. The vignettes in this book are simple narratives for readers to contemplate.

      A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR

      Dear Reader,

      Ever share an idea, thought, feeling, or experience in hopes that the listener would listen patiently and not pass judgment? The vignettes in this book may appear improbable, irreverent, nonsensical, quirky, and even zany, but the true intention is to see the humanity in these narratives.

      As I recount the vignettes, I’ll share my observations, but that’s just between us so that this book won’t hear us. (Books seem so fragile nowadays—in particular, books that have been around since antiquity. They tend to be hypersensitive, and because
