Summary
℗¡ & Ldquo;I glanced out the window as my train pulled into the station and saw the girl who killed my son. & rdquo; So begins Josh Rolnick & rsquo;s powerful debut collection of eight stories, which utilizes a richly focused narrative style accenting the unavoidable tragedies of life while revealing the grace and dignity with which people learn to deal with them.
