Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. Good intentions are not enough. They never were. The Kindness of Strangers is the fourth volume in the Nightshade Stories series - ten original short stories of moral reckoning, good intentions, and the weight of what we do when we try to help. No villains. No easy answers. Just people doing their best in a world where the best sometimes isn't enough, and the consequences arrive anyway. The ten stories inside: - The Lottery Ticket - A man finds a winning ticket worth four million dollars on a bus. He spends two weeks trying to return it. He can't. Now what?- The 911 Call - She saw a man following a woman and called for help. The arrest went through the system - and the system told him where she lived.- The Interview - She chose one candidate over another. Twenty-two years later, the one she didn't choose wins a Nobel Prize.- The Confession - A priest hears a man confess something he plans to do in four days. The seal of confession is absolute. One small door is not.- Bystander - Two hundred and fourteen people did nothing. One woman crossed the platform. A researcher spends years trying to understand why.- The Inheritance - Three siblings find an unsent letter in their mother's desk. She chose not to send it. She couldn't throw it away either.- The Verdict - She cast the final vote. Fourteen months later, she reads that the software used as evidence had a known error.- The Donation - He gave anonymously. He didn't watch where it went. The families were still waiting a year later.- The Last Lesson - She taught the unreliable narrator for twenty-three years. One student used it to read his own life - and left home the following summer.- The Cold Case - A retired detective opens the door to the convicted man's son. He already knows he built the case correctly. He reads the folder anyway. These are not stories about bad people. They are stories about what it costs to try - and about the particular honesty of people who refuse to look away from what their good intentions actually produced in the world. Volume IV of the Nightshade Stories series by Vale Nighton. Each volume stands alone - no prior reading required. Volumes I, II, and III are available now. Perfect for readers who love literary short fiction, moral complexity, and stories that stay uncomfortably close to the truth. Read one. You'll read them all. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …
