True Life Short Stories

Non-fiction Short Stories is a collection of autobiographical pieces by versatile author Anne Merkley. Written over a period of 20 years, these stories provide a chronological slice of life that allows the reader to understand the character's psychological make-up in terms of events from early childhood on. The stories deal openly and honestly with issues that are too readily swept under the rug or are left to fester as skeletons in the family closet. This book is illustrated with paintings from Anne's portfolio of work, confirming that she is a highly acclaimed visual artist as well as a writer.
