Stated first printing, trade paperback with publisher's slip laid in, the book has a subtle lean to the binding, slight bumps to the spine ends and cover corners, a crease to the upper back cover corner, light rubbing to the covers, and a touch of smudging to the edges of the text block. Overall, a solid, Very Good copy.

About this title

Synopsis

From the foreword by Jen Greyson:

Change. It occurs everywhere we look—from the seasons, to our relationships, to ourselves. Change is truly the only constant in our lives, trite as the saying may be. Change bears opportunity for growth, though oftentimes we reject the chance to embrace the newness out of fear, whether fear of the unknown, or fear of rejection, or fear of who we’ll become on the other side of the change. Characters are no different.

A good story can immerse us in the progression of change through a character’s eyes. Whether they choose to accept the challenge or refuse it, both decisions carry consequences. Refusal of a growth opportunity can mean more challenges for our favorite characters until they finally relent, while immediate acceptance can bring dark nights and lonely journeys. Growth isn’t easy and easy doesn’t make for good stories that stick with us after we read them. We want to see our characters make the tough decisions and ponder what we’d do in the same situation.
