{"product_id":"the-missing-9781958015025","title":"The Missing","description":"\u003cp\u003eEach of the seven stories in Tory Tuttle's luminous first collection explores dislocation, whether from losing a child or the protection of a parent, or as a strategy to escape reality. A mother measures the distance growing between herself and her first child, who lived only three weeks; a teenager runs away from abuse, detention, and the indifference of her mother; a janitor's hold on reality dissolves after witnessing the murder of a child; a traveler, lacerated by the death of her sister, seeks solace through flight; a lonely woman whose child was stillborn experiences the world through daily bus rides; a woman is abandoned by her lover and her mother, though in drastically different ways; a wife protects her children by finally leaving her abusive husband. These uniquely rendered portraits, often impressionistic, depict the accommodations one makes to survive a world frequently inhospitable to human desire and longing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Contingency Street Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781958015025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.32d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/11\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePW Booklife Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlueInk Review\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/25\/2023\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Tory Tuttle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42896205217973,"sku":"9781958015025","price":11.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_01bf3cbc-7e26-4959-9206-9d3ae054d584.jpg?v=1686101635","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-missing-9781958015025","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
