Here we find a man who drives to the wrong mountain, a hubcap cleaner who moonlights as a karaoke star, and a deliveryman whose urgent letters have no willing recipient. While lulled by the deceptively simple rhythm of the ordinary, Kevin Clouther offers the instant before momentous change--the view over the cliff, the intake of breath before a decision, a glimpse of stark vulnerability, of faith and hope.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kevin Clouther\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1936787156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781936787159\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Catapult\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/13\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/17\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2014 pg. 42","brand":"Kevin Clouther","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937615085823,"sku":"9781936787159","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6d436f20-d19a-4285-8eb3-97faa772cc6b.jpg?v=1681431077","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/we-were-flying-to-chicago-kevin-clouther-9781936787159","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
