| Publisher Description: Named "Finalist, Best Fiction of 2017" by the N. Texas Book Festival, this critically acclaimed novel is a story you'll live and breathe rather than just read. In this special, intimate "author's edition," the story unfolds even more vividly, with added detail: the high price demanded of a nation embroiled in a far-off, unpopular war grips small town America where such sacrifice is ultimately borne. In the hardscrabble west Texas town of Conroy, folks prepare to send their favorite son off to that war, as a parallel battle of domestic violence erupts at home, explosive and relentless, forging bonds of strength and fortitude within the young generation struggling to surmount the violence and find redemption beyond the fighting, at home and abroad. |
