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. 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.
