Small Lessons Passing By

We and I

From dimly lit apartments and cracked sidewalks to classrooms, kitchens, and bus stops, Small Lessons Passing By traces the rhythm of a life stitched together by fleeting moments — some ordinary, others unforgettable. In this poignant mosaic of reflections, Akimmy Nedina Wheeler captures the beauty and brutality of growing up, the weight of family, and the quiet grace of resilience.

With prose that is raw, lyrical, and profoundly human, Wheeler invites readers into a world where joy and struggle coexist, where wisdom is gathered in line at the grocery store, during early morning walks, or while holding a cracked egg or a child’s hand. Each chapter is a small lesson — some painful, some triumphant, all universal. For anyone who has ever looked back and found meaning in the smallest things, this book is for you.
