Stories from a Yellow Pad: Collection of Short Stories

In Stories from a Yellow Pad, everyday encounters become windows into unexpected moments of insight, irony, and beauty. Written in a vivid, often first-person voice, this collection offers a tapestry of short stories-some imagined, some drawn from fleeting interactions, and others inspired by the people who pass in and out of daily life.

Set against a variety of cultural backdrops, the stories reveal a world both familiar and strange, where meaning often hides in quiet gestures and ordinary conversations. Whether humorous, poignant, or gently reflective, each piece invites the reader to pause, observe, and connect.

With language both elegant and accessible, Capek-Habekovic crafts narratives that resonate across borders and identities-many first sketched on her signature yellow legal pad. This collection is a celebration of storytelling itself: honest, inquisitive, and unafraid to dwell in the grey areas of human experience.
