The Honeysuckle Anthology - Paperback

by C. Jai Ferry (Author)

Three collections. Twelve stories. One unforgettable exploration of what it means to grow up, break down, and carry on.

In The Honeysuckle Anthology, C. Jai Ferry offers a raw, intimate look at ordinary people grappling with the messes we inherit as well as the ones we make ourselves. With a sharp eye and unflinching honesty, these stories trace the quiet devastations of childhood, the brutal consequences of choice, and the invisible weight of family.

Across these twelve stories, readers will meet:

• Children and child-like adults navigating betrayal, loneliness, and the high cost of belonging
• Women trapped in dying marriages, fractured families, and the haunting echoes of their past
• Men clinging to delusion, memory, or anything that might soften the blow of reality

Spare, gritty, and emotionally resonant, The Honeysuckle Anthology speaks to anyone who's ever struggled to leave the past behind while trying to carry it with grace.

"Down-to-earth matter-of-factedness that belies the insights that are shared." -Amazon reviewer

"Beautifully crafted... utterly fascinating." -Amazon reviewer

Nothing cuts deeper than the people you love.
