“By turns surprising, poetic, and stark, The Story That Cannot Be Told is one that should most certainly be read.” —Alan Gratz, New York Times bestselling author of Refugee “A mesmerizing debut.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) A powerful middle grade debut with three starred reviews that weaves together folklore and history to tell the story of a girl finding her voice and the strength to use it during the final months of the Communist regime in Romania in 1989. Ileana has always collected stories. Some are about the past, before the leader of her country tore down her home to make room for his golden palace; back when families had enough food, and the hot water worked on more than just Saturday nights. Others are folktales like the one she was named for, which her father used to tell her at bedtime. But some stories can get you in trouble, like the dangerous one criticizing Romania’s Communist government that Uncle Andrei published—right before he went missing. Fearing for her safety, Ileana’s parents send her to live with the grandparents she’s never met, far from the prying eyes and ears of the secret police and their spies, who could be any of the neighbors. But danger is never far away. Now, to save her family and the village she’s come to love, Ileana will have to tell the most important story of her life.

If you ask someone the question, "Tell me a story that changed your life," there will almost certainly be a thoughtful pause before a huge grin emerges. Everyone's life has been guided and impacted by stories, beginning with the earliest fables and nursery rhymes our parents used to instill moral values to the last time you wanted to illustrate a point in a meeting or get a laugh out of a friend over dinner. Storytelling is a uniquely human activity, among our first and most enduring forms of communication. This is a book about the meaning of stories in people's lives, especially those that have produced enduring changes in their values, behavior, lifestyle, and worldview. Carefully documented and supported by research from the social sciences, as well as from neurobiology, the humanities, media studies, and arts, Jeffrey Kottler will explore how and why stories are so powerfully influential in people's lives, especially those that lead to major life transformations.

Stories that cover a range of genres are presented. With special emphasis on suspense and terror, a roller coaster of emotions that go from sci-fi to fantasy, from love to heartbreak, from betrayal to espionage, and more, that I hope catch your eye and brew your imagination and creative capacity. Some of the stories are about nightmares (or dreams) told in a page or less, in other cases the stories extend to a second or even third page, and finally, there are stories that were merely created by the author of this book. It’s not my intention that, perhaps, more than one of the readers will appropriate the feelings or events conveyed in these stories. Much less is it my intention, in the case you’ve had a nightmare (or a dream) or a similar event, to expose or harm you. I initially considered the title Poems of terror told in a page (or less), but the content of this work may not fully adjust or adapt to the term poem, in the sense of rhythm and other literary resources that they require. Without further ado, I present to you “Short stories told in one page or less”.
