We all have a story to tell. Even the characters that we create have a story to tell. Their lives mirror our own during this pandemic, our struggle to survive, our conflict with perspective, and our need to live normal lives again. But not all of us get to go home in the end.

"From closed schools, canceled work deals, spikes in depression and suicides, crumbling economies, and broken family ties and relationships, the devastation caused by COVID-19 attacked societies around the world at their core. Stories Written On COVID Walls, an anthology by Melissa R. Mendelson, offers a powerful antidote to the struggles and loss: a window into other people's lives who suffered the same fate but survived and how they did it, and those who lost the battle to the pandemic and what was left of their loved ones.

If you are searching for a book that covers much of the emotional and practical ground that many people traveled during the COVID-19 pandemic, Stories Written On COVID Walls is the book for you.
