Five-Minute Slices of Life

The Collected Stories of Allen Unrau

Beschreibung

Darrel the homeless doorman, Jasper the piano junkie, Edith the regretful home seller, country bumpkins Calvin and Bunny, Percy the lifelong inventor, the cruel Mr. Munger, the holdup lady and Troy the fast talker are just some of the characters you will meet in these deeply moving stories by a master storyteller. These "five-minute slices of life" depict the range of human experiences: hope, fear, forgiveness, grief, guilt, sympathy, surprise, love and wonder. As they relate the complex interactions of ordinary people, these stories become a celebration of life from birth to death, offering hopeful insights into our uncertain world. Reading them is like sitting down over coffee and dessert and sharing stories with a good friend.

He has extensive business experience in real estate development, assisted living ownership, and automobile leasing, as well as volunteer work as a registered hospice volunteer to palliative care patients and numerous positions with seniors' organizations.
