What he discovers is an intimate connection to the natural world, a renewed impulse to understand his troubled family history, and a devotion to following the clues that point to the possibility of a whole life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvoiding easy sentiment and cliché, White's transformative language drives toward renewal. \u003ci\u003eA Year without Months\u003c\/i\u003e introduces lively and memorable characters, as the author draws on a wide range of emotions to analyze everything, including himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e West Virginia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781952271526\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.95h x 4.96w x 0.55d","brand":"Charles Dodd White","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42059033510069,"sku":"9781952271526","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_e857a2c5-582c-4c45-bbab-cb13c55e9daa.jpg?v=1650340753","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-year-without-months-9781952271526","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
