The six gems in this collection each illuminate familial relationships in a singular way: A mother and her infant son fight to survive a car-crash in a remote wintry landscape outside of town. Fraternal twins at a juvenile detention center reach a dangerous crisis point in their entwined lives. A pregnant social worker grapples with the prospect of parenthood as a custody case takes a dire turn. A hard-boiled ex-firefighter goes after a serial arsonist with a flair for the theatrical even as his own troubled sister is drawn towards the flames. These are just some of the unforgettable characters animating this stellar collection of tales--Davidson's first in 15 years, since \u003ci\u003eRust and Bone\u003c\/i\u003e, which inspired a Golden Globe-nominated film.","brand":"Craig Davidson (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Knopf Canada |  Hardback  |  2020-08-18","offer_id":44151471177983,"sku":"9780735280120","price":29.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/products\/BNCImageAPI_359fcb8b-f3f5-4c29-8344-70cda9e8fef8.jpg?v=1636347981","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9780735280120","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
