Whether we're in a career or marriage cul-de-sac, caring for aging parents or coping with empty-nest syndrome, we find ourselves re-evaluating our lives as never before.

With authors spanning seven countries, these \"Stories of Change\" explore some of life's biggest questions through a variety of voices. Alongside successful writers and podcasters, we hear from a social worker, a psychologist, a widow, and a lawyer; a \"single mom by choice\" and a father honoring the loss of his son. By experiencing change through the eyes of others, we challenge our own choices and begin to lean into new possibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompiled by Storyhouse Works founder Hannah Huber, this special anthology features original portrait illustrations by Amsterdam artists, and will serve as an inspirational keepsake for generations to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCover Design: Cigdem Guven\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIllustrations: Patricia Velasco, Anna Demina, Tanja Bladt-Cohen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003estoryhouseworks.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Storyhouse Works\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/07\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789083479750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.47h x 5.32w x 0.50d","brand":"Hannah Huber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730152849589,"sku":"9789083479750","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_50dce8ca-68e6-4431-a462-13edabd50848.jpg?v=1758004351","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/unexpected-gifts-stories-of-change-9789083479750","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
