Accept. Love. Get Out There

By Bin Sobchuk

Accept. Love. Get Out There is the companion book to Tributes to Toronto, The Red Shoes New, Rose Diary Short Stories, and Honour. I am a single person, and a widow, navigating the world and trying to embrace all the complexities of urban life. I wish to share these experiences - which have become my treasures - with my readers. My work here is historical fiction and is not intended to describe any actual person's real life. Nevertheless, I write these stories with honesty and sincerity, and they are from my heart. I hope you enjoy them. If you wish to give me feedback, I can be reached at: binsobchuk@gmail.com In this collection of short stories, one of Toronto's most prolific intracity travellers reveals her quirky brand of humour to an acting group, explores the downtown restaurant scene, brings joy to mental health sufferers, supports small businesses in her neighbourhood, and steers a bold course through personal relationships and love. As always, Sobchuk gives generously of herself to her beloved friends and pets. Written with a thoughtfulness that readers will find captivating, Sobchuk strives to get to know countless others - regardless of their age, lifestyle, or socioeconomic status. Traversing the city, be it in the bright heat of a mid-summer festival or grim darkness of an early-morning alleyway, she is both fearless and frank. And in each of these remarkable journeys, the writer remains open and wide-eyed - she is, relentlessly, accepting of the people she encounters, curious about their situations, and hopeful of helping them to make their lives at least a little bit better. As a result, we see Sobchuk's character evolve and flourish; as readers, we learn and grow with her. Chris Fletcher, M.A. B.A.
