A compilation of short stories from various publications. I enjoyed them, but to be honest - my mind wandered. I think this is one I would like to sit down and read again but a physical book next time - I listened to the audio and I think short story is just a genre that is better for me to experience with traditional reading instead of listening. 

What was interesting is that Neil had a section at the beginning that described what each of the stories was written for.

Neil himself narrated, and his voice is so soothing and stirring at the same time.
