“A superb collection of short stories by Andrew Spink. The stories were magic. Extremely well put together and a joy to read. Impossible to put down and well worth five stars.”
“The most grounded storytelling I’ve ever read.”
Synopsis:
Nobody lies to their Uber driver. The anonymity functions like a truth serum, putting everyone’s raw and unfiltered selves on full display. But it is in those rideshare confessionals, when human lives are intersecting without the usual pretense, that you discover the heights of human potential. And you hear some powerful stories. A woman stopping a suicide on the other side of the world. A heart attack healing a fractured family. A husband celebrating with his wife, on his last night alive.
Intersections is a collection of nine short stories, all based on the true events and experiences of rideshare passengers. As you follow the characters through life-and-death journeys, they give you hope in humanity's potential and inspire you to remain present to the infinite possibilities for wonder all around us.
“I adored the diversity of this book—diversity in the masterfully assembled, one-of-a-kind tales from travelers of all backgrounds.”
“Spink writes with humor and pathos. Intersections is a collection of nine surprisingly weighty tales that highlight the many unknown impacts that every person has on all those they meet over the course of what might seem to them to be an ordinary day.”
“I loved this! Brilliantly written - you get totally invested in the characters. These stories will stay with me long after I’ve finished the book.”
“Spink’s storytelling is a poignant portrayal of sensitive relationships. He avoids providing easy solutions to life’s problems, instead paving a “way toward being whole” for both rider and reader alike.”
