Risk and loss are habits to them, but ones that have not undermined their essential humanity--or their hearts. Their lives are rugged, full of grief and grace. No one in these stories comes through unscarred, but they still cling to the hope that comes from a belief in secular miracles.\u003cbr\u003e\nA man witnesses a tragic accident that calls his own life into question. A young woman meets her high school sweetheart after many years, and seeks to make sense of the separate paths they've taken. And in the title story, a soldier home from Iraq tries to rebuild his life in a remote Alaskan village.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese are fishing stories, told as such stories are told: simple, violent, often coarse, but paying homage to the elemental beauty of the sea. In the end, the reader is left with a sense of the fragility and beauty of life, as it is exposed in proximity to danger and loss.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rosemary McGuire","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67632748724377,"sku":"9781602232594","price":8000.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/5642\/6905\/files\/the-creatures-at-the-absolute-bottom-of-the-sea.jpg?v=1791550383","url":"https:\/\/booksworldstore.com\/products\/the-creatures-at-the-absolute-bottom-of-the-sea","provider":"Books World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
