Berg moves to a remote Northern California town, seeking space and time to recover, but soon finds himself breaking into homes in search of pills. Addled by addiction and chronic pain, Berg meets Alejandro, a reclusive, master boatbuilder, and begins to see a path forward. Alejandro offers Berg honest labor, but more than this, he offers him a new approach to his suffering, a template for survival amid intense pain. Nurtured by his friendship with Alejandro and aided, too, by the comradeship of many in Talinas, Berg begins to return to himself. Written in gleaming prose, this is a story about resilience, community, and what it takes to win back your soul. 650 0 $a Brain $x Concussion $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Addicts $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Drug addiction $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Communities $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Healing $v Fiction. 651 0 $a California $v Fiction. 941 $a 11 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012014110.0 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210021840.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529013736.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110075604.0 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20190813012215.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20190314010939.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190212024637.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20181204011741.0 952 $l VKPE334 $d 20181027010651.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20180802011112.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20180707015020.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7952BCC881AC11E8845ADF1997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
