The stories, true-life memoirs, and poems in this volume will take you from an
African game reserve threatened by poachers to the war-blasted landscape
traveled by three Polish escapees from a World War II concentration camp.
Journey to a lonely farmhouse in France, a bustling Chinese village, and a trailer
park in Kansas. You’ll take a terrifying car ride with two criminals and their
unwilling passenger. You’ll meet quirky characters like Danielle, who seeks
solace from the imperfection of love by hanging out in a walk-in freezer, and
Jared, who spends his days and nights on a purple bench in his quiet suburban
neighborhood, waiting for his angel in combat boots to walk by and wondering if,
this time, he’ll have the nerve to talk to her.
"'Just gone. I guess I didn't deserve her,' the big man said simply. He took the smoldering cigar out of his mouth and held it in front of his eyes. Intent on the burning embers, he appeared to be preparing to reveal something. Perhaps something that would help Jason make sense of him. But whatever was trying to crawl out of him, the big man swallowed back inside just before it could surface. He returned the cigar to roost on his full lip and his face became stone once again. 'Your turn now, my friend. Converse with me. I want to know what you did.'"
