Beschreibung
That's the problem with this goddamn world, anyway-it's hard enough to breathe, let alone touch the stars.
Every August, Ben and his daughter Gracie pack up their Subaru and go fly fishing on the Elk River. While their trek to the Elk remains the same year after year, the world around them stubbornly and continuously shifts. Gracie's mother is a perpetual flight risk, Ben's illness may be a ticking time bomb, and Gracie loses herself in beauty ideals and the pain of growing up.
As they watch the mayflies emerge from the Elk, Ben and Gracie reflect on the insect's absurd 24-hour life cycle, giving rise to the story's pivotal question: "If I only had that much time left, what would I be doing?" For Ben and Gracie, the answer is simple: find beauty in the cracks.
Endless in August is a character-driven coming-of-age novel that explores love, loss, self-acceptance, and growth. This book will help you appreciate the small yet critical moments that can change the course of a journey forever.
