Publisher's summary
This contemporary fiction book is an anthology of several short stories:
Story 1: A man is in search for his beloved bird, which keeps flying away to different areas. However, the bird's pattern isn't random. It's not arbitrary. It has a purpose; a purpose to make its owner see his real purpose. As the man follows the bird wherever he can, each situation triggers different memories and helps him view life in a different perspective.
Story 2: Nora is confused. With her gothic look and her secret superpower to teleport from one spot to another within sight, she has all the problems a girl in her 20s can have. Faced with betrayal, mean people at the hospital where she works, and much more, she moves through life and finds ways to protect her newly found boyfriend.
Story 3: Norman is another man faced with problems. His ADHD makes him misunderstood among the populace. However, when he finds a hidden treasure in the middle of the desert, his bravery and entrepreneurial skills are put to the test. Will he save the economy of the fishermen's village?
Story 4: As Benjamin comes across a wishing well, he is amazed at the concept of "unlimited wishes." Each wish, though, comes with a warning: That life seems so much better when you have this or that, but oftentimes, it's tricky and it doesn't meet people's expectations. On a moral journey to figure out what he really desires in life, Benjamin keeps changing his mind and finds out what truly matters.

Luna is a young woman in her twenties with a spark of innocence, but not without wits and intellect. She also happens to be a witch, a trade that has been passed on through generations.

Her life with her black cat seems to be flawless, and her new gift shop is, however challenging, successful enough for her to make a decent living. But trouble is in the air.

Story
Cassie Hanwell was born for emergencies. As one of the only female firefighters in her Texas firehouse, she's seen her fair share of them, and she's excellent at dealing with other people's tragedies. But when her estranged and ailing mother asks her to uproot her life and move to Boston, it's an emergency of a kind Cassie never anticipated. The tough, old-school Boston firehouse is as different from Cassie's old job as it could possibly be. Hazing, a lack of funding, and poor facilities mean that the firemen aren't exactly thrilled to have a "lady" on the crew.

That's the question that has haunted 14-year-old Ezekiel Blast all his life. But he's not a thief, he just has a talent for finding things. Not a superpower - a micropower. Because what good is finding lost bicycles and hair scrunchies, especially when you return them to their owners and everyone thinks you must have stolen them in the first place? If only there were some way to use Ezekiel's micropower for good, to turn a curse into a blessing. His friend Beth thinks there must be, and so does a police detective investigating the disappearance of a little girl.

Fun stuff
I liked this book. Great narrator, and great stories. Perfect length for the price you pay for it. Nothing wrong with it. Funny moments and moments of thinking. I wasn't too crazy about the story about the girl with the purple hair, but I liked the search for happiness story.

I loved this
These stories are exactly what I needed to be entertained on an afternoon like this. Some made me think, but in a general sense, they weren't too deep or far-fetched. Just some light, fun stories about people who questioned their own decisions or made the right choice. All happy endings, which I liked.

Fun book
Yes! I was looking for something like this. Great narrator, who really got into it. Relaxing to listen to these fictional stories.

I exchanged this
I had a $5 credit and this sounded interesting. However, I decided pretty quickly to exchange because of all the errors. Strawberries do not grow on bushes. Contemporary steel mills do not receive raw materials and ship out finished steel in wagons. And words were sometimes missing from sentences, which I suspect was poor editing and not the narrator.
I might have forgiven this, but the character flits from one location to the next, spends a few minutes there, and reports life changing insight at each one, when nothing happens to bring about these changes. So no, this book just wasn’t doing it for me, even for five dollars.
