Short Story Press Presents Sandy's Mended Heart

This story follows Sandy, a 19-year-old woman, as she makes the difficult transition from living in an insular religious community to "outside" life in a college town. Sandy struggles with: - Living alone when she has always been surrounded by a close family; - Meeting different types of people when she has always been in a small community; - Making her way with new people who don't think or act like those at home--she has to figure out how they think and what they actually mean by what they say and how they act; - Meeting men who live and work in environments - a college campus, a military base--that are the total opposites of the community she has known all her life; - Dealing with her need to find love, and hopefully a marriage, in a new world, without the guidelines of her strict community or the oversight of her family; - Falling in love with a man who is so totally different from her father, brothers, cousins and all the men she has known in her life, and in fact is a soldier, someone whom her pacifist religious community would find totally unacceptable; - Finding a church home and a place where she can live with her strong religious convictions even though she does not totally accept the limitations of her original church; - Coping with love and loss, putting lessons of forgiveness into practice, and picking up the pieces of a broken heart without becoming bitter.Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.
