Cut Road, 197

A rich mix of acclaimed and award winning stories. Cut Road is a masterful exploration of the loss and scars that conflict always leaves behind. Where soldiers abandon too much of themselves in war zones, parents relinquish control of their children, and friends struggle with change and tragedy. From the working soul struggling with grief, to the wounded veteran seeking redemption in a coffee shop, to the sweaty tree-planter fleeing a burning forest, in this collection no one--least of all the reader--is left unscathed.
