But unlike a sprawling epic that covers years or decades in the lives of its characters, in this book you'll read only a pivotal moment for each person. And what a fascinating mix of people--here you'll find a novice nun who spends her nights in an unexpected pastime and a fashion model who makes a surprising choice. You'll meet a hoarder, a kleptomaniac, the mother of a long-missing child. Each tiny story is a glance at a snapshot of the characters' existence--like postcards from their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach story has been written in exactly one hundred words. They're depictions of that moment in time when a life teeters, and then either wobbles off in a new direction or settles more firmly into the old one. Stripped of exposition and lengthy description, these stories invite you to look quickly but carefully--and sometimes even to finish the story yourself. Whether you start on January 1\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e and enjoy one tidbit each day or you open the book and read at random, you're sure to find someone who will speak to your heart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Breath of Fresh Air Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45547273846935,"sku":"9781922135391","price":1273.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781922135391.webp?v=1767178705","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/stolen-postcards-9781922135391","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
