{"product_id":"the-daughters-9781647792015","title":"The Daughters","description":"Renowned--albeit washed-up--author Peter Zemeckis (\"Z\") is relishing the sunset of a life spent single when Dr. Nancy Chu crash-lands in the bungalow next door. As Nancy's family drags him into deeper water, Z must rethink the ending to his own story. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Spanning from Amarillo, Texas, in 1977 to La Jolla, California, in 2012, \u003ci\u003eThe Daughters \u003c\/i\u003eis a kaleidoscopic meditation on family, memory, and the invisible forces that bind us. Z's narrative interweaves small-town rodeos with amateur radios, teen angst with parental love. Shard by shard, he pieces together the story of a fractured family struggling to reassemble itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Like particles, Z's characters (and neighbors) are both small and singular, but their stories ripple like waves--colliding, refracting, and reshaping one another across generations. Elegant, intricate, and deeply moving, \u003ci\u003eThe Daughters \u003c\/i\u003ereverberates long after its final page is turned.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBen Rogers\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eThe Flamer\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Heavy Side\u003c\/i\u003e, and the short story collection \u003ci\u003eThe Mayfly\u003c\/i\u003e.
