There are some stories that I really enjoyed. The story about the children who were waiting on their mother during a war like situation reminded me of Palestinians today and it was emotional for me to read. The story about about ghost ships felt like a story about determination. The story about the girl who wanted to be more and watching her mom have kid after kid triggered me. I remember being anger on the expectation on older siblings to raise younger children. The story about lost of time and eluding to mental health concerns broke my heart.
