Moving freely across love and intimacy, garden settings and silence, artificial intelligence and aging, grief and joy, resistance and moral courage, these pieces follow appetite rather than convention-and do so with wit, warmth, and nerve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is for readers who believe life doesn't narrow-it sharpens. For those ready to choose engagement over compliance, tenderness over timidity, and joy over decorum. Written in a relaxed, conversational voice, Brent Kendrick's creative nonfiction is playful without being flippant and serious without being solemn. These essays laugh, linger, and then-when necessary-stand their ground. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePull up a chair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFool around-by choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Luminare Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798900711492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.06d","brand":"Brent L.
