To achieve this lofty goal, four accomplished writers gathered memories and histories from the community at twelve St. Paul branch libraries. Each of the twelve fictional chapters, grown from the stories told at the libraries and combined with historical research, is as diverse in style and content as the communities from which they sprang--from war to friendship and fire to fertility, these stories are tied together by the city itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Coffee House Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781566891400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.01w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Minnesota Book Award - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2003 pg. 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/13\/2003\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nora Murphy,Joanna Rawson,Julia Klatt Singer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51990874390709,"sku":"9781566891400","price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_1f69263f-c5f4-4485-984c-b0b346cf63bd.jpg?v=1762838139","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/twelve-branches-stories-from-st-paul-9781566891400","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
