“The stories in
A New Race of Men from Heaven
move elegantly between the ache of loneliness and the grace of connection, however fleeting.” —Danielle Evans, author of
The Office of Historical Corrections
is a collection of stories about characters who wander but are never truly lost. A lonely man on a business trip finds himself in the middle of a search party for a missing boy; a grieving widow leaves India to join family in the United States; a writer finds renewed success when an unknown imposter begins publishing under his identity. In these quiet yet deeply knowing stories of migration, power, and longing,
offers us, above all else, stories of enduring love and hope.
