Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. The powerful story of a mind at the edge of unraveling, held together by love and acceptance. Nest and Q walk through the city. Nest speaks and Q listens. Mile by mile, Nest tells Q about her life, her family, her past . . . and her Chimaera, the beast that preys on her mind and causes her to lose herself. Q knows only that his love for Nest runs deeper than the demon that plagues her thoughts, that he loves her in spite of--or perhaps because of--the personal battle she fights every day. A beautifully-written, haunting story. Praise for Ten Miles One Way A loving but honest treatment of mental illness, these words will sing off the page and into your heart.
