The stories in William Lychack's dazzling new collection, The Architect of Flowers, explore the dear and inevitable distance between people in loving relationships and find hope in dark situations. With tiny, precise details, Lychack observes the overlooked moments of everyday life--the small failings between parents and children, the long-held secrets in married life.
A small-town policeman brings himself to shoot a family's injured dog; an old woman secretly trains a crow to steal for her; a hybridizer's wife discovers the perfect lie to bring her family magically together again. Lychack's characters yearn to re-enchant the world, to turn the ordinary and profane into the sacred and beautiful again, to make beauty serve as an antidote to grief. From ghostwriter to ghost runners to ghosts in a chapel, these stories are extraordinary portraits of life's tender humiliations as well as its sharp, rude jolts.Binding Type: Paperback

super deal !!
Color: 1-colorful Blue
i got this purse on a special deal pricing for 19.99 & wow what a steal...........its a well made purse........vibrant color....its more a matte finish instead of shiny.........and if ur familiar with brahman this would be the small duxbury style...........im so glad it was the smaller one because the large duxbury is just awkwardly too big for petite gals like me lol.............very happy with my purchase & so glad i found this company............im an avid brahman fan as well & when i saw styles that brahman discontinued & now this company has them i was very happy :) these are excellent dupes but keep in mind they are dupes & price range is super so lining may be a bit thinner but not a deal breaker for me - lining was fine enough to hold up & instead of leather they use vegan leather - but dont be scared lol the vegan leather they use is very heavy duty & will hold up............im not a fan of vegan leather but i made an exception for this company............please keep making this style as well as the other styles u have - im a super fan !!! (ps- the small duxbury is still in use by brahman - its not discontinued - others styles on this companies websites are discontinued by brahman - so if u dont want to pay over 200.00 then this is an excellent option )

Well made, stylish handbag and a eye-catching color
Color: 1-bright Orange
I am very happy with the look and quality of this handbag; the fabric inside, and especially the deep, rich orange color I ordered - it does not appear to be available right now. I am glad to have chosen a solid color over some of the varied tones that appear harsh and cheap. I have not used the shoulder strap yet; the handles are comfortable to carry on the arm. I generally buy leather purses only so it is a pleasant surprise to be enjoying this vegan material, which looks more expensive than the price I paid.

Classy and Sassy
Color: 1-peacock
Simply gorgeous. I immediately transferred my stuff to the new purse and then put my clothes in order to match what I planned on wearing with it for the next few weeks. I just love it. Thank you. Will definitely be purchasing more soon

Delighted!
Color: 1-purple Blue
I'm very pleased with this handbag. I got the blue with purple version and I just LOVE the color combination. I have a couple of the name brand version of this type and IMO, these are a decent dupe - especially at this price point. The handbag even came with a dust cover bag. The size of this one is roomy enough to carry what I need, without being the size of a piece of luggage. The detail and the zips are good quality and smooth, not faults at all. I'm delighted with this purchase, so much so, I've already ordered 3 more handbags of this brand, in different colors and styles.😊
