Trying to harmonize the voices in his head, he sits most days by his stack of to-do books until, one day, his daughter comes home with the worst news of her life. Everything changes. As his broken heart reengages, he steps back into a new world. He sees his ex-wife has launched into a larger life than the one theyd shared. He is surprised to find it easier to talk to his sons immigrant girlfriend, or even the remains of a Russian saint, than to the young man hes raised. He misconnects with Carol-his first date in decades-a woman he enjoys talking with but doesnt quite hear. Set in the pre-tech calm before the turn of this century, Outer Sunset is a deeply felt story about the intimate place where long-lasting growth occurs in our lives; how we revise, or live without, our dreams; how to love the flaws of those closest to you and watch a child grow away into someone better than youd imagined; and how to be shaken by beauty amidst unimaginable loss and remain standing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52178064572704,"sku":"NEW1609388836","price":18.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81oc0VllWbL.jpg?v=1786485075","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/outer-sunset-1609388836","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
