And some ordinary lives, quietly breaking apart, contain more courage than anyone around them will ever know.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn these thirteen stories, Sarah P. Blanchard takes readers into the interior lives of everyday people navigating hardship, love, betrayal, and the fragile hope that something better is still possible. Set against the landscapes of rural New England, the Carolina mountains, and the Hawaiian coast, \u003cem\u003eRift Zone\u003c\/em\u003e moves between darkness and unexpected humor with the sure-footed control of a writer who trusts her characters - and her readers - completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA woman refuses to see what she cannot bear to know. A bus driver does something small that changes everything. A family holds itself together with silence and love in nearly equal measure.
