Vituperative children. Fumbling adults. Crimes and misdemeanors and stumbles toward love. In this collection of 17 short pieces of fiction, award-winning author Craig Lancaster (600 Hours of Edward, The Summer Son, Quantum Physics and the Art of Departure) turns his unerring eye to the manicured lawns and themed streets of American neighborhoods and digs into the perfectly imperfect lives of the people who inhabit them.
From four boys finding trouble in a suburban no-man's land in "The Field" to the aching desperation of the Carter years in "Our Disquieting," these stories are inhabited by people you know -- or think you know -- on a street where you live.
