The title story How Is My Ukraine is fiction. However, it is based on actual events in Ukraine during the Russian invasion. Hence, it is derived and inspired from real experiences but with names, places, and exact details altered to not invade the privacy of those involved. That is also the case with many other stories in this collection. And like life itself, they provide few feel-good moments or happily-ever-after endings. Also, like life itself, it can be the cumulative toll of a myriad of disappointments and adversities that wear down the spirit more than individual problems. Indeed, the experiences described in these stories are more often minor traumas, albeit painful or worse in the aggregate. Expect death, which is part of life, distress, suffering, anguish, sorrow, grief, and violence to body and mind. These stories provide glimpses of troubled characters under stress. Like the problems they face, their journeys are unpredictable, shocking, and surprising to keep the reader engaged and intrigued and to be true to their origins.
