At its essence, this collection is about desire and love, and the ways the two intersect-and don't.

It can be quelled at times, even seemingly quenched, but inevitably yearning returns as something painfully beautiful. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heather Bartlett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1951979486\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781951979485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sundress Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/13\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.24d","brand":"Heather Bartlett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44131286319359,"sku":"9781951979485","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9f174cbe-0e7e-4db4-9592-b55e0876df06.jpg?v=1687473961","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/another-word-for-hunger-heather-bartlett-9781951979485","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
