A multiple award winner, Hempel is beloved and highly regarded among writers, reviewers, and readers of contemporary fiction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese fifteen exquisitely honed stories reveal Hempel at her most compassionate and spirited, as she introduces characters, lonely and adrift, searching for connection. In \"A Full-Service Shelter,\" a volunteer at a dog shelter tirelessly, devotedly cares for dogs on a list to be euthanized. In \"Greed,\" a spurned wife examines her husband's affair with a glamorous, older married woman. And in \"Cloudland,\" the longest story in the collection, a woman reckons with the choice she made as a teenager to give up her newborn infant. Quietly dazzling, these stories are replete with moments of revelation and transcendence and with Hempel's singular, startling, inimitable sentences. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRavishing, heartbreaking, and powerfully concise, \u003ci\u003eSing to It\u003c\/i\u003e is an \"exquisite collection\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Wall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e) and a \"quiet masterpiece by a true American original\" (NPR).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781982109127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Amy Hempel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36674219016348,"sku":"9781982109127","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_f845b856-d0d7-4902-82ba-b7738fc886bb.jpg?v=1603931573","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/sing-to-it-stories-9781982109127","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
