The stories in this anthology are as diverse as the authors who wrote them. There are stories about people who use their newfound wealth to help others, stories about people who are corrupted by it, and stories about people who simply don't know what to do with it.

One of the most heartwarming stories in the anthology is "The Gift" by Barbara Kingsolver. This story is about a young woman who inherits a large sum of money from her grandmother. She uses the money to buy a farm and start a new life for herself. She also uses it to help her community, by starting a scholarship fund for local students and donating money to the local food bank.

Another memorable story in the anthology is "The Lottery Winner" by Alice Munro. This story is about a woman who wins the lottery and becomes an instant millionaire. At first, she is overjoyed by her good fortune. But as time goes on, she begins to realize that money can't buy happiness. She becomes estranged from her family and friends, and she finds herself feeling more and more isolated.

These are just two of the many thought-provoking stories in this anthology. If you're looking for a good read that will make you think about the role of money in our lives, then I highly recommend this book.
