In \"Everything Must Go,\" an estranged husband spots his ex-wife's belongings at a garage sale and grapples with an onset of paranoia. In \"Transportation,\" a young boy attempts, through wild acts of imagination, to transcend his bleak existence in a trailer park. Wrestling against limitations that are Southern in aesthetic, but universal in nature, the characters in Floods and Fires seek redemption in the face of hard times. Quirky, outlandish, but in the end emotionally poignant, Dan Leach's stories follow imperfect people struggling against their circumstances, their histories, and, most importantly, themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 12, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42712328863807,"sku":"9781940771359","price":28.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/03e1bf5918cd651f53338aeb827a51ef.webp?v=1765061395","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/floods-and-fires-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
