Have you ever asked the question what was going on inside the mind of someone that committed suicide? This skillfully curated collection of short stories takes readers into the mind of the suicidal teenager, churchgoer, mother and more. They show us the painful reality that suicide knows no colors, genders or religions. It doesn't care how much money you make. Suicide is a reality for all types of people. These stories, some fictional and some true, show the common thread of pain that resonates through individuals who consider the act of taking their own lives. Atiya Robertson reveals the story of suicide from the perspective of the victim. She shows readers that when a person gets to the point at which taking their own life is a viable option, the decision can come down to a coin toss--a game of life and death. Every day, many people all over the country and world are choosing to end their lives. This book tells their story.

Dedicated to the American consumer, Cornucopia is a retrospect glimpse inside the American psyche. A look at ourselves that we cannot afford to turn away from. It is a social and cultural exposé going backward through time and space to a conspicuous world of the past where the foundations of world geopolitics shifted on fault lines, wholly, unfamiliar to us. When the Berlin Wall came crumbling down and Mikhail Gorbachev, President of The Soviet Union, trekked to the United States, hat in hand, and commingled with everyday Americans, while Raisa Gorbachev shopped inside our grocery stores. Taken together, the sum of this cornucopias is greater than its parts. The implications for America''s future are dire. Thirty years from now The Planet Earth may be devastated by climate changes triggered by our in-actions of today. But it''s not too late. The network of relationships making a coherent whole existing between individuals and groups all over the globe, is resilient. I have employed a form of literature that uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language in order to create a parallax, as it were, back into our not so distant past so that through it we may be able to project more clearly into the future.
