Add to basketPrejudices and belief systems can be crippling. Sometimes, you may remain completely unaware of your deep-seated prejudice. What if your prejudices, beliefs, and traditions are challenged? What if the shackles of the past, intrude into your present? What if you are forced to make life-changing decisions by letting go of them?
The War Within is a collection of short stories that explore the lives of people caught up in just such situations. They are ordinary people living ordinary lives. Yet they are forced into situations of choice....just like you and me. Their upbringing, their belief systems, their prejudices force on them a worldview that creates a storm within them. They must let go of their prejudices, belief systems or deep-seated fears or reaffirm them, if peace must prevail.
This collection of psychological stories or mindscapes, uses the stream-of-consciousness technique to present the character's perspective in a multitude of ways. Some of these stories are short and others are slightly longer in accordance with the organic demand of the tale.
