His father serving a life sentence. But as his senior year looms, Mark finds a bit of peace with his mother and her girlfriend in a farmhouse outside town. Here, he hopes to escape the upheaval that has dogged him since the day he was born, but as hard as he tries, he can't outrun his shadows. He is lost, but no more so than many of his friends, no more so than the institutions he navigates or his country as it spirals toward another bloody war. Mark doesn't know God, but as he stumbles through his long, violent night, he is guided by glimmers of kindness, the good souls who reach out to this life's lost sheep. Delivered in prose both terse and lyrical, \u003ci\u003eThe Lost and the Blind\u003c\/i\u003e presents a searing portrait of dopesick, small-town America and a young man desperate to rise above.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Running Wild Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781955062619\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288","brand":"Curtis Smith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43103919898805,"sku":"9781955062619","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_29dcbd55-da19-4788-b52a-fdeb49559a29.jpg?v=1693282603","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-lost-and-the-blind-9781955062619","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
