These characters are 'poured out like water', characters deeply impacted by the \"poisoned blood\" of America, characters searching for their own little bit of comfort in the midst of personal and cultural collapse. These stories rattled my heart and will stay lodged within it.\" Gayle Brandeis\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 142\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.33 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47250220613881,"sku":"9781732403277","price":23.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/VWpFZ2NTdHcyUVMveHE0anMvVVpJdz09_d0d55759-e4b2-4181-99ec-c79f9c574b62.webp?v=1768659761","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/care-stories-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
