The Western Line (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781967262045)

From Audie Award-finalist and the author of One Night in a Thousand Years comes a new collection of three unforgettable stories-tales of ambition, survival, and the search for ultimate meaning in our lives.

In Thunderpower, a young visionary's attempt to resurrect the Library of Alexandria spirals into an unexpected comedy of errors, leading him from a psychiatric institution to an accidental run for mayor. The Western Line follows a couple determined to reorder and repopulate the world in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, clinging to love as their final act of defiance. In Total Freedom, a fractured family in the Texas oil fields struggles with duty, desperation, and the cost of escape.

The Western Line is a timely meditation on calling, responsibility to the people in our lives, and what happens when the myths we build collapse.
