The Measure of More

The Measure of More is a collection of interconnected short stories set in a small town where residents quietly wrestle with what it means to live well. From driven professionals and disillusioned achievers to quiet caregivers and aging dreamers, each story captures a moment of reckoning-a place where ambition collides with presence, performance meets grace, and the soul begins to speak.

These aren't tales of spectacular success or dramatic collapse. Instead, they unfold in kitchens and coffee shops, on porches and in pews-ordinary settings where the real decisions are made. Together, the stories offer a mosaic of longing and transformation, where each character must confront the gap between what they're chasing and who they're becoming.

At the heart of the collection is a single idea: We were created for more-but not more of the same.

These are stories for anyone who's grown tired of chasing what doesn't satisfy, and who suspects there's something deeper, quieter, and more enduring beneath the noise.
