{"product_id":"northward-dreams","title":"Northward Dreams","description":"From acclaimed author Craig Lancaster, a two-time High Plains Book Award winner, comes a story of family violence, dysfunction, and, perhaps, redemption, told across four timelines.\n\nMore than a decade into the 21st century, Nate Ray is down and in the final throes before he's out for good. He has burned through jobs and the goodwill of others, including his son, Brandon. When Nate's dad, Ronnie, summons him for a trip from Texas to Montana to bury Ronnie's sister, Nate's self-destruction is put on hold but new and long-simmering issues arise.\n\nForty years earlier, in Wyoming, Electra Ray plots an escape to an uncertain future, for herself and her five-year-old son. A new friend awaits on the other end, three states away, but first Electra must break cleanly away from the bonds of a neglectful present.\n\nIn 2002, recent high school graduate Cherie Bowden is helping her mother settle her grandma's estate in Billings, Montana, and is already deferring her own dreams. She discovers information that makes her question everything she thinks she knows about the people she comes from.\n\nAnd in early 1950s Montana, Ronnie Ray-sixteen years old, estranged from the father he barely knows, and on the run from an abusive home life-reaches faithfully toward a connection.\n\nIn his latest novel, Lancaster, who has been hailed as \"one of Montana's most important writers,\" goes deep into how history shapes and confines us and how hope sometimes stubbornly abides.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0CY7NQ9JH\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0CY7NQ9JH.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lancaster, Craig\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43331409543229,"sku":"BVV.B0CY7NQ9JH.VG","price":13.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/northward-dreams","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
