First Edition. Signed.

Fine in dust jacket.


In this moving and provocative novel of sorrow and laughter, anger and redemption, two men who have led very different lives, one white, one black, both touched by fire, are drawn inexorably to one another. When they finally come together in a Seattle park where the homeless gather, they begin to compare lives and losses, learn to lean on one another, and begin to try to make sense of existence.
