Birth. Everything in between. Death.
A road begins with birth and ends with death, but it is everything in between that makes us human.
In this short story collection, Maria Roti explores the messy, fragile, funny, painful, and sometimes brutal moments that shape a life. These stories move through love, grief, desire, family, secrets, survival, bad decisions, strange connections, and the choices people make when no one is watching.
Some stories will make you laugh. Some will hurt. Some will leave the truth in your hands.
From first breath to final reckoning, this collection follows the winding road between where we begin and where we all end.
