Sinopsis

Only Human by Kristine Scarrow is a thought-provoking collection of eleven short stories that explore how ordinary people respond when life pushes them to their limits. Each story reveals the quiet struggles beneath everyday life—careers that falter, relationships that fracture, and moments of loss or discovery that change everything.

Set in Saskatchewan, Canada, these contemporary tales balance humour, heartbreak, and honesty as characters confront aging, illness, trauma, gender roles, and the pull between what’s right and what’s necessary. Scarrow’s writing captures the raw truth of being human, showing how small choices can lead to unexpected consequences.

Only Human invites readers to reflect on their own lives and ask: What would I do in the same situation? Relatable and emotionally resonant, this collection is for anyone drawn to stories about the moral and emotional struggles that define us all.
