{"product_id":"sumr-lynn-gray-9798429806815","title":"Sumr","description":"\u003ci\u003eSumr\u003c\/i\u003e explores the interconnectedness of memory, creativity, place, responsibility, and relationship-to our blood kin, to our chosen family, and, especially, to the accidental and profound connections life brings to us. Condar is a man on a mission obsessed with films he's seen of the effects of atomic blasts on pigs made by the US government in the 1950s. Miranda is a young woman with an unreliable memory and intuitive wisdom who inherits a three-year-old from an in-law. She encounters Slade, a man searching for his own center, for a framework on which to hang his life, while Slade's artist brother, Ruben, is confined to a rigid framework-prison-for a crime he didn't commit. Camille, the child that Miranda is bequeathed, struggles with a grief she can't name-the loss of her mother-and, in the process, is healed by the love of her happenstance family and heals Miranda and the two men in her life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe novel is about inferences, incomplete messages, missing pieces, and the truths we find within them. Much of the text in the book is in truncated English-which, like our efforts to perceive and understand one another-is incomplete but still allows us to create a net of story and belonging that holds us together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lynn Gray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798429806815\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Lynn Gray","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48851510067455,"sku":"9798429806815","price":10.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sumr-lynn-gray-9798429806815","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
