People and society change.  These are stories of diverse characters reacting to the changes of their life.  Stories that can be read independently, but are tied together as some characters interact with each other.  The same events are perceived by a different character, who has their own interpretation of what happened.  From the perspective of friends, or family.  These stories are about people who were or are in some ways repressed by society, but gained power. 

 

Some were excluded from opportunities and were active in fighting for inclusion.  Had become included and established.  Some had relied on their family for support, a family who fought for the opportunities to give to their successors.  The successors had become success stories but were distant and seemingly lost their cultural heritage. 

 

There are many ways to be an activist, but activists have problems of their own.  Being an inclusive activist means having to negotiate with diverse wants.  Wants that are difficult to reconcile.  Being an activist and appreciating activist partners, does not mean that the activists work well together.  Like any organization, they have to find ways to work together. 

 

The writing style is different, having no clear end to a sentence.  This can sometimes be poetic, but the quality is mixed.  The stories can be engaging, or a reader can get lost in what had happened.
