"Shakabukued" formerly "Sad Truth" an anthology are nineteen short stories of a youth’s longing for peace of mind and sense of belonging. The road is long, painful, and circuitous. A troubled childhood, school bullies, a dubious religious sect, and unscrupulous mental health professionals, make the journey seem futile. Finding wisdom, purpose and sense of belonging are finally attained from lessons learned and taken to heart.
The trials faced by the protagonist closely mirror my youthful experiences. He is the one to tell this story because the emotions were his emotions—raw and valid.
