WHEN ordinary people live through extraordinary moments...

Sweaters and Small Stuff is a wonderful collection of stories, depicting some of the most tender and sweet, as well as tragic and harrowing, instances in the lives of many different characters.

From the life-changing to the seemingly mundane, this thought-provoking anthology will take you on a journey that won't easily be forgotten. The two-part volume brings you a very different story for every day of the week, in the first section. From Sundays and Secrets, where a young girl's life is changed forever on a Kerry beach to Friday's Photographs, where a tale of abuse takes an unusual turn.

In part two, Foreign TV Stations is a funny take on a stroke of luck, A Model Mother tugs at the heartstrings and 30-Minute-Meals gives real food for thought.

Sweaters and Small Stuff offers a varied and enjoyable read, for ordinary people looking for extraordinary moments.
