The Year the World Paused
Janet Wiszowaty
nonfiction
What happens when life throws us a curveball? Usually, we deal with it in the moment and go on about our day. But what happens when the world is thrown a curveball — a global pandemic? The world is forced to pause.
In this book, you will meet 21 courageous authors who chose to act when thrown the curveball of the pandemic. Like most of us, they were not prepared for the year 2020. But in each captivating story, we see how they met the challenging year head-on in their own unique and resilient way.
The world will never forget the impact of the pandemic. In this compelling and hard-to-put-down anthology, these authors share their stories of inspiring experiences which provided them with an unexpected transformation in their lives. As you turn each page, remember to pause and reflect upon how your life has been impacted, and transformed, and let us all remember that the only constant in life is change.
I am a new member and this is my first venture into compiling an anthology. The majority of the authors are not professional/published authors and I was honoured to have them contribute to this book. Our intention is for the reader to know they are not alone in their struggles and will learn that it is okay to be angry, sad, and cry as long as you keep moving forward and find joy and inspiration in the little things that surround you.
