Reclaiming Joy is a collection of 14 uplifting stories about perseverance, courage, and love. Each story explores a different situation where we must find some semblance of joy amidst a life mired by tragedy and trauma. For if we relinquish our hold on the things we love, the things that bring us joy, we may find ourselves trapped within a lonely abyss. Joy brings light, hope, and inspiration, and is often found in the most unusual way.

The world is not kind. It never was. Fear, jealousy, and anger fuel the actions of those who wish to assert their power and eliminate those they deem unworthy. There will come a time of reclamation-whether by force or by empathy-when those tides shift, a balance reborn. It must start somewhere. The reclamation of self, of culture, of heritage, and of our world-starts within. No longer will those around us decide if we deserve to exist.Anthology collection of science fiction, fantasy, and horrorAuthor Contributors: Allison Baggett-Rowe, Joris Filipp, Bernardo Villela, Tyler Wittkofsky, Rashmi Agrawal, Daphne Fama, Tessa Hastjarjanto, Marisca Pichette, Emmie Christie, Claudia Recinos, Kevin Mack, Jennifer Lee Rossman, Christina Ladd
