A pleasant and enjoyable book that caught me up in its stories. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. Even people who don't like reading will find it a simply marvelous collection of short stories. I look forward to the next book.

DISCOVERIES: A Journey Through Life is a thoroughly enjoyable and delightful collection of short stories. Shirley Ann Parker has captured the events of every day life with warmth, humor and understanding. Every reader will find a little of himself within the pages of this book.

Highly recommended reading for anyone who enjoys a well crafted work of literary skill, Discoveries: A Journey Through Life is an engaging anthology of seventeen original short stories by Shirley Ann Parker about the everyday challenges, joys, and frustrations of the wonder and miracle that is daily life. The tales share common themes of family , friendship, humor, and a sense of wonder in this pleasant and delightful collection. A superb and original story teller, Parker exhibits a gift for evoking both the pleasures and imperfections of ordinary life with an extraordinary imaginative talent.

This charming little collection of short stories is the perfect book to have on your nightstand. Instead of counting 'sheep' to shut down the frenzy of the day, why not quiet your mind with a short story that is guaranteed to gently prod you into a memory, a pleasant thought, or a warm feeling. Each one of these little life adventures will address something to which you can relate your own life's journey. You may laugh, quietly reflect, shed a tear, or simply ponder a possibility as you wander into slumber. So refreshing, so different, and such a treat. Thank you, Shirley Ann Parker!
