Life in Stories is a deeply human collection of fiction, lyrics, and novel excerpts that traces the arc of life—moving through youth and age, humor and tragedy, love and loss. From the beaches of Rio to the soccer fields of New Jersey, from the Roman conquest at Alesia to the American West of the 18th century, these stories explore athletes chasing vanished glory, lovers trying to find their way back to each other, ordinary people facing extraordinary moral choices, and moments of quiet reflection that define who we become.

Hijackers ditch an airliner into the remote Canadian wilderness, and 17-year-old Kyle Reynolds, along with the rest of St. Mark's award-winning jazz band, somehow, survives the crash. Kyle escapes into the wild with Misty, the girl of his daydreams, only to find out the hijackers will stop at nothing to find her.

Some people have to be force-fed maturity - particularly teenagers stranded helplessly on remote Canadian Islands. Join Patrick Marks, a towering icon of wimp-i-tude, in this hilarious short tale about maturing experiences with bears, mosquitoes the size of large poodles, Pot-Licker the cat, and near-death experiences with outhouses.
