I have been on an Elizabeth Strout kick lately so that is why I read Anything is Possible. In this story the authors links passages about nine people who suffered in childhood and thrived as adults. A side character in one story might be the main character in the next. This story is set in a small town in the Midwest. Some of the stories are sentimental but the author speaks of hard topics without apology. Humans are complicated creatures who feel a large variety of emotions. Some of us feel superior to others and that is a common theme in some of these stories. Although you can feel superior to others, you never quite know what they have going on in their lives that makes them act in the way that they do. With a little compassion, anything is possible.
