A Thin Place (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Joe lives an idyllic life. He needs nothing more than what he has, which is nothing more than a dog and some hills to wander. That is, until it's all whisked away early one morning, as he's thrown into his parents' car, his best friend Corky's gone missing, and rumor has it something dark is stirring in the family. Joe is about to lose everything he has ever loved yet his parents and older brother won't tell him why.

In a new town, at a new school, the new guy sticks out: Joe tries to sort through the more painful experiences of life, to find what matters most. With the encouragement of a beautiful, warm-hearted girl named Ellen, Joe may just find the Hope he is so desperately searching for.

Inspired by his true experiences, David Weiskircher writes a moving portrayal of a young man's journey through finding hope and peace amidst the whirlwind of pain and trauma. A Thin Place shows us a viscerally truthful portrait of an attempt to sift through the agony of loss and the secrets our family refuses to tell us.

Autor

David Weiskircher grew up in the tree-studded hills of Ohio, before abruptly moving to Florida where there are few trees and even fewer hills. From there he made a short hop to Atlanta, a place that provided plenty of trees and a sprinkling of hills. He worked for Corporate America hoping he'd come to love it - or, at least, be sufficiently deluded by it - but such was not the case. One lucky sunny day, Mr. Weiskircher looked to his side and found his love standing, patiently waiting. He and his wife had years together and though they had enjoyed their time abundantly, it wasn't nearly enough. Breast cancer saw to that. Instead of children, the pair went with dogs, and soon after, a menagerie was born. Nearly all were herding dogs. When Mr. Weiskircher's wife died, he found himself in the middle of a raging storm. But he had shepherds by his side. They saw the storm . . . and they kept him moving forward on the right path. And now, in his spare time, Mr. Weiskircher writes about things he learned in life, and more often than not, dogs.
