Is That All There Is?: A Collection of Short Stories

By Diana B Roberts

Is That All There Is? is a reflective collection of short stories that moves through decades of personal experience, historical change, family relationships, loss, activism, faith, and self-discovery. Diana B. Roberts blends intimate memories with defining moments in American and world history, taking readers from her Peace Corps years in Tunisia to the Vietnam War protest movement, family experiences, social upheaval, community service, and the complicated transitions of adulthood.

With honesty, humor, vulnerability, and an observant eye, Roberts explores the people and experiences that shape a life. Stories such as "Father's Day," "November 15, 1969," "Massacre," "When You Pray, Move Your Feet," and "How to Lose a Scarf" connect deeply personal moments with larger questions about mortality, responsibility, relationships, belonging, and purpose.

At the heart of the collection is a recurring question: Is that all there is? Each story offers another perspective on what remains after loss, change, disappointment, love, and survival, creating a candid portrait of a life examined through memory.
