This is a book of ten short stories that all link together. Each story stands upon its own. You can follow the lives of Maggie and Blake, their children and grandchildren, as they go through difficulties in their lives. Numbers mean numbers to the stories. Animals talk and help people out in one story. Planes crash in another story revealing a life after this one. In one story two young men in collage want to set bombs off around Chicago. People have diseases that they die of while others live on. This book is to be read as a novel with the stories as chapters. Heroes and villains have their destiny and fate. Sometimes hopes and dreams get shattered, but there is always that dream of heaven to look forward to. These stories take place mostly in Wisconsin and Illinois. This book advances from my first book of poetry called, Pushing On, to this book of short stories. I live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I thank God for giving me the time and my mind to come up with these stories and these characters that in this book were given their own lives to live. My name is Douglas Edward and I am the author of Chicago Was Spared.
