Within these pages, Chin artfully creates a personal world where snake killings, demonic possession, the enigmatic pleasure of a deep kiss, cruelty, and compassion all co-exist. Actual events and fictional outcomes reconcile what has been lost, outgrown, and abandoned with what never was and what might have been.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manic D Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781945665363\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224","brand":"Justin Chin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42334456152245,"sku":"9781945665363","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_39166cfc-b410-4944-b5d1-e0071133d29b.jpg?v=1660627590","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/burden-of-ashes-9781945665363","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
