Wayward By Keerthana Suresh

“Wayward” is a collection of short stories that highlights the moments in life that make or break us. Each story looks at different events – love, grief, acceptance, an act of kindness, betrayal – that shows how they can have a big impact on our feelings. The characters are relatable, and their experiences remind us that even little things can shape our lives in important ways. The stories are about their growth and experiences to build a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. Together, kindness and empathy can heal wounds and inspire collective action towards a better world. In a time when challenges seem overwhelming, embracing these qualities can ignite hope.
