Description
“It was the summer before senior year when Danny and I decided the adults in our lives had irredeemably failed us, and so we hit the road.” A high-school runaway; two orphans with a battered canteen and a dead dog in the Mexican desert; a bookkeeper obsessed with a murder photo; a man haunted by a childhood tragedy. Whether returning to small-town homes or getting lost in the souks of Syria, the characters in these twelve stories struggle to find purpose and choose between escape and making peace with their lots. “Whatever scene Revolinski drops his reader into, you feel like you are really there.” “STEALING AWAY is a lush, shimmering collection... A fantastic debut... Revolinski proves with this book that he has incredible range, wisdom, and empathy.” — Nickolas Butler, author of Shotgun Lovesongs and Little Faith “With the insight of a world traveler and the heart of a kind Midwestern neighbor, Revolinski's dark, engrossing stories find flickers of hope in a disorienting world. He has a knack for realistic dialogue and an empathetic heart for Midwestern folks on the harder edge of ‘working class.’” — J. Ryan Stradal, author of The Lager Queen of Minnesota
