{"product_id":"9780988886407","title":"After The Race","description":"After the Race recounts the unraveling of the family Reed. and the raw, serpentine trails the father-son pair of Wayne--an Army Special Forces veteran whose reckless pursuit of contentment propels the story--and Charles--a gifted runner whose effortless successes on the track contrast his struggles everywhere else--blaze through, over and around Wayne's worsening alcoholism and deteriorating mental health. The plot ricochets between vaulted ceilings--an enormous financial windfall, near misses on distance running records, romance and reunion--and concrete basement floors--arrests, bar-fights, accidents, near-death experiences, the Blizzard of 1993, and the collapse of North American Honeybee populations. The result is a character-driven exploration of the tension between appetite and restraint, between gunpowder and glue, set deep in Virginia apple country, along the northern rim of the Shenandoah Valley.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eMichael Brandon Jones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eMichael B.
