{"product_id":"gone-the-sun-9798988302292","title":"Gone the Sun","description":"If a book can be a song, the pages of Gone the Sun sing. They sing remembering and forgetting. Grief and Endurance. Present and past. In the present time of this memoir-in-fragments, Joel Peckham spends a last summer as music director at Manitou, the boys camp that has been part of his life since he was a child. Manitou summons Peckham's past-his father, his lost wife, his lost son. But there are songs of redemption those weeks too. This is a book that sings both back and forward with love, urging us all home.Karen Salyer McElmurray, author of Voice Lessons and I Could Name God in Twelve Ways In Gone the Sun, Peckham writes about his loving, sometimes fraught history with Manitou, a summer camp he and his father worked at for many years. As his father declines into dementia the middle-aged Peckham-still working summers at the camp between semesters as a college professor-muses upon time, upon loss, and the various selves we inhabit as we age. This is a beautiful, heartbreaking book, but heartbreaking in the most resonant, emotionally intelligent, and illuminating way possible.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Uncollected Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50912360661266,"sku":"9798988302292","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_522dd0d8-9b50-454c-8d9a-27f0f35afc8c.jpg?v=1738770090","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/gone-the-sun-9798988302292","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
