Before a gig in Miami, he learns that the woman who is secretly closest to his heart, the free-spirited drummer Maggie, is pregnant by him. Instead of facing the necessary conversation, Circus flees, setting off a chain of interlocking revelations from the various women in his life. Most notable among them is his teenage daughter, Koko, who idolizes him and is awakening to her own sexuality even as her mentally fragile mother struggles to overcome her long-failed marriage and rejection by Circus. Delivering a lush orchestration of diverse female voices, Warrell spins a provocative, soulful, and gripping story of passion and risk, fathers and daughters, wives and single women, and, finally, hope and reconciliation, in answer to the age-old question: how do we find belonging when love is unrequited?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Warrell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8885785549\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798885785549\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thorndike Press a Part of Gale a Cengage Comp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/08\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.70w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge Print\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e PEN\/Faulkner Award - Finalist","brand":"Laura Warrell","offers":[{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":44133185814783,"sku":"9798885785549","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_033b6395-7f07-4aee-b0dc-0ac9b698d92d.jpg?v=1687484589","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sweet-soft-plenty-rhythm-laura-warrell-9798885785549","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
