Have This Heart

From acclaimed author Lawrence Patchett, a compulsively readable story collection about men who are trying to do better. Whether training a rescue dog, starting a bucket chain to put out a raging fire, raising a marquee beside a line of Ferraris, or reporting on a sensitive workplace accident, the men in are striving for more. They care about their work, even when no one else does, because they know what the consequences will be if they don’ t. Lawrence Patchett’ s stories are about men at work and what happens when your life doesn’ t let you hide. These are tightly coiled stories, rich with rough talk and fear-sweat and tenderness.
