Fore! Give Us Our Trespasses: Stories

By Alex Marmalade

What happens when the world asks you to be smaller than you are?

These five stories explore the sacred rebellion of choosing authenticity over conformity-the beautiful audacity of being real in a world that profits from your diminishment.

Meet a vicar whose golf disaster becomes divine grace, a niece discovering her uncle's hidden love through inappropriate grief, a queen risking everything to save her people, revolutionaries finding hope in impossible places, and a mother fiercely protecting her child's authentic voice against corporate correction.

Each protagonist commits what their society considers a trespass. Each discovers that sometimes the greatest transgression is refusing to transgress against yourself.

"These Extended cuts contain the complete emotional landscapes these characters demanded to inhabit-expanded from their original Reedsy.com appearances into full Director's Cut experiences."

For readers who've felt the pull between who they're supposed to be and who they actually are. For anyone who's discovered that the most authentic prayer might be: "Forgive us our authenticity, for we know exactly what we do-and we choose to do it anyway."
