Paperback. Zustand: Good. "A master American novelist." --Vanity Fair   Ned Ayres has never wanted anything but a newspaper career. His defining moment comes early, when Ned is city editor of his hometown paper. One of his beat reporters fields a tip: William Grant, the town haberdasher, married to the bank president's daughter and the father of two children, once served six years in Joliet. The story runs--Ned offers no resistance to his publisher's argument that the public has a right to know. The consequences, swift and shocking, haunt him throughout a long career until eventually, as the editor of a major newspaper in post-Kennedy-era Washington, DC, Ned has reason to return to the question of privacy and its many violations--the gorgeously limned themes running through Ward Just's elegiac and masterly new novel.   "A doggedly restrained character study that advances its themes obliquely through atmosphere and tone.  Often, the effect is quietly, even elegiacally beautiful, evoking the rhythms of Ernest Hemingway's early fiction . . . A quietly affecting, mournful achievement." -- Richmond Times-Dispatch "In Just's hands, the ambiguous motives behind the paper's pursuit of the story are riveting . . . The novel stands on Just's memorable study of Ned. Your heart goes out to this kindly, complex man who's 'not truly interested in the things of his own life, preferring the lives of others.'" -- Seattle Times   &nbsp. …

The very thing you just know will kill you happens and you find yourself asking, Am I going to make it?Erica Harms remembers the day she asked that same question with tears rolling down her cheeks. Sometimes the walk of faith is more of a limp. Or even a crawl. And when trauma strikes, forget even crawling. Just sitting still and trying to inhale and exhale is a victory.The only hope we have is the proof that others have crossed out of the shadows, out of the darkness, safely to the other side.

Her honest and raw story declares that it is possible to be scared and brave and broken and whole and weak and strong at the same time. It is possible to find hope after disappointment, healing after abuse, and joy after despair. May the testimony of one who has been made whole but still remembers well what it was like to be broken be a lifeline of hope to those of you who today are asking, Am I really going to survive this.…
