Her characters are scarred by the unchecked hungers of others and themselves, yet determined to find salvation within lives that can feel beyond their control. In novels such as \u003ci\u003eThe Small Backs of Children\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Joan\u003c\/i\u003e, she has captivated readers with stories of visceral power. Now, in \u003ci\u003eVerge\u003c\/i\u003e, she offers a shard-sharp mosaic portrait of human resilience on the margins. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The landscape of \u003ci\u003eVerge\u003c\/i\u003e is peopled with characters who are innocent and imperfect, wise and endangered: an eight-year-old black-market medical courier, a restless lover haunted by memories of his mother, a teenage girl gazing out her attic window at a nearby prison, all of them wounded but grasping toward transcendence. Clear-eyed yet inspiring, \u003ci\u003eVerge \u003c\/i\u003echallenges us with moments of uncomfortable truth, even as it urges us to place our faith not in the flimsy guardrails of society but in the memories held--and told--by our own individual bodies.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLidia Yuknavitch \u003c\/b\u003eis the nationally bestselling author of the novels \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Joan, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Small Backs of Children, \u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e Dora: A Headcase, \u003c\/i\u003eand of the memoir \u003ci\u003eThe Chronology of Water\u003c\/i\u003e.
