The middle ground is a place weβve all crossed, the halfway point between who you are and who you want to be. In Jeff Ewingβs collection of stories, his diversely American characters call it home. From a story of a man living in the shadow of an abandoned missile silo that may hold the answer to a mystery of vanished children, to one of a small-town beauty tentatively courting stardom, Ewingβs sparse, musical prose illuminates lives lived in that space between fear and courage, hope and regret, life and death. Fog remembers, revenge beckons, and loneliness gives birth to fragile beautyβwhile in the distance the future gleams on a car hood, daring bold hands to seize it.
