Lessons in Living is a faith based anthology with a central theme of how God uses the seemingly ordinary things and events of life to teach extraordinary lessons.The anthology had its beginnings in what we affectionately called the Sisterhood Project, an attempt to give women who desired to write a voice and a safe haven in which to thrive, to be nurtured and mentored as writers.

In a drunken stupor he makes a bargain with Sagami, a former high school mate, now president of an important financial firm: Sagami will borrow Tatsurou the money he needs in exchange of his body: the day in which they sing the contract Tatsurou surrenders his body to Sagami and again every month as interest till the day he could repay the borrowing.
