An eighty-year-old writer finds his ordered life upended when his long-absent rocker daughter appears with her mentally impaired teenager; an adolescent boy finds out more than he cares to know about darkness from carnival workers; a man in love with a BBC Star Baker from afar attempts to live out his TV fantasies with unhappy results; a brainy autistic child learns compassion from a chickadee; a knife-thrower, a stripper, and a barrel racer alter each other's lives at a 4H fair; a Kansas farm woman finds a way back to the technicolor adventures of her youth, guided by a religious con man. These and other stories, thirteen in all, are newly written, published here for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 05, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53425681989939,"sku":"9781966196297","price":28.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/QPjp9-_vfk9781966196297.webp?v=1780520120","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/light-and-dark-and-other-stories-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
