Paperback. Good intentions are not enough. They never were. The Kindness of Strangers is the fourth volume in the Nightshade Stories series - ten original short stories of moral reckoning, good intentions, and the weight of what we do when we try to help. No villains. No easy answers. Just people doing their best in a world where the best sometimes isn't enough, and the consequences arrive anyway. The ten stories inside: - The Lottery Ticket - A man finds a winning ticket worth four million dollars on a bus. He spends two weeks trying to return it. He can't. Now what?- The 911 Call - She saw a man following a woman and called for help. The arrest went through the system - and the system told him where she lived.- The Interview - She chose one candidate over another. Twenty-two years later, the one she didn't choose wins a Nobel Prize.- The Confession - A priest hears a man confess something he plans to do in four days. The seal of confession is absolute. One small door is not.- Bystander - Two hundred and fourteen people did nothing. One woman crossed the platform. A researcher spends years trying to understand why.- The Inheritance - Three siblings find an unsent letter in their mother's desk. She chose not to send it. She couldn't throw it away either.- The Verdict - She cast the final vote. Fourteen months later, she reads that the software used as evidence had a known error.- The Donation - He gave anonymously. He didn't watch where it went. The families were still waiting a year later.- The Last Lesson - She taught the unreliable narrator for twenty-three years. One student used it to read his own life - and left home the following summer.- The Cold Case - A retired detective opens the door to the convicted man's son. He already knows he built the case correctly. He reads the folder anyway. These are not stories about bad people. They are stories about what it costs to try - and about the particular honesty of people who refuse to look away from what their good intentions actually produced in the world. Volume IV of the Nightshade Stories series by Vale Nighton. Each volume stands alone - no prior reading required. Volumes I, II, and III are available now. Perfect for readers who love literary short fiction, moral complexity, and stories that stay uncomfortably close to the truth. Read one. You'll read them all. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

The Kindness of Strangers is the fourth volume in the Nightshade Stories series — ten original short stories of moral reckoning, good intentions, and the weight of what we do when we try to help. No villains. No easy answers. Just people doing their best in a world where the best sometimes isn't enough, and the consequences arrive anyway.
The ten stories inside:
• The Lottery Ticket — A man finds a winning ticket worth four million dollars on a bus. He spends two weeks trying to return it. He can't. Now what?
• The 911 Call — She saw a man following a woman and called for help. The arrest went through the system — and the system told him where she lived.
• The Interview — She chose one candidate over another. Twenty-two years later, the one she didn't choose wins a Nobel Prize.
• The Confession — A priest hears a man confess something he plans to do in four days. The seal of confession is absolute. One small door is not.
• Bystander — Two hundred and fourteen people did nothing. One woman crossed the platform. A researcher spends years trying to understand why.
• The Inheritance — Three siblings find an unsent letter in their mother's desk. She chose not to send it. She couldn't throw it away either.
• The Verdict — She cast the final vote. Fourteen months later, she reads that the software used as evidence had a known error.
• The Donation — He gave anonymously. He didn't watch where it went. The families were still waiting a year later.
• The Last Lesson — She taught the unreliable narrator for twenty-three years. One student used it to read his own life — and left home the following summer.
• The Cold Case — A retired detective opens the door to the convicted man's son. He already knows he built the case correctly. He reads the folder anyway.
These are not stories about bad people. They are stories about what it costs to try — and about the particular honesty of people who refuse to look away from what their good intentions actually produced in the world.
Volume IV of the Nightshade Stories series by Vale Nighton. Each volume stands alone — no prior reading required. Volumes I, II, and III are available now.
Perfect for readers who love literary short fiction, moral complexity, and stories that stay uncomfortably close to the truth. Read one. You'll read them all.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
