Already mired in the aftermath of a failed marriage, Jon is suddenly tormented by ghostly, ribbon-like sentences that stream across his vision, wrenching him in and out of consciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut are they hallucinations, or something more? Minutes after the ribbons appear, a deranged sniper is hot on Jon's trail; a pro baseball pitcher sees exactly what Jon is seeing, from three thousand miles away; and a neurophysicist is leaving cryptic warnings while rushing to Jon's rural mountain community. Meanwhile Jon's ex-wife is about to expose a deadly, ribbon-related episode from Jon's hidden past... a revelation that could endanger the entire region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen there are the whispers, about ties between the mysterious sentences and a wondrous language unspoken for four thousand years. Are Jon's ribbons something miraculous, as his growing convictions insist? Or are they dangerous, as the people hunting for him--and the woman he still loves--claim? The startling answers promise to unlock new frontiers... if Jon can avoid falling prey to the Mother Tongue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan Cray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1940317096\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781940317090\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Delcominy Creations, L.L.C.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/13\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.91d","brand":"Dan Cray","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874006216959,"sku":"9781940317090","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mother-tongue-dan-cray-9781940317090","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
