Through touching reflections on community and memory, Patrick Joseph Caoile's debut collection takes an honest yet playful look into the intricacies of longing and belonging. Tenants gather to swap meals and stories, workers strive to prove their worth, sons and daughters revisit their relationships with faith, patriotism, and their own parents. These connections span generations, and in crossing both time and distance, urge us to observe what is lost or changed in the translation. Feelings of grief and alienation abide, but so do love and gratitude as these characters forge bonds and gain perspective in unexpected encounters. Here, the familiar and the foreign cannot be clearly delineated, and attempts to escape one's history lead to seeing it in new forms. More than fragments, these contemporary tales are evidence of an inheritance that continues to flourish; they vocalize the lessons and hopes that have taken wordless root in our hearts, waiting for us to remember them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Joseph Caoile\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sundress Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781951979843","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Patrick Joseph Caoile \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47712164511901,"sku":"9781951979843","price":37.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_fbac6956-1a09-40fc-94a3-335c6afb4132.jpg?v=1773171890"},{"product_id":"the-dog-meows-the-cat-barks-9780811239769","title":"The Dog Meows, the Cat Barks","description":"\u003cp\u003eSato Reang enjoys an idyllic childhood of soccer, fighting crickets, and mischief in his Indonesian village--until the day he must be circumcised, and his observant father forces him into a life of Islamic piety.
