{ "item_title" : "The Self Left Behind", "item_author" : [" Dj Atkinson "], "item_description" : "The Self Left BehindA haunting collection of literary short stories about memory, identity, grief, and the quiet ways we lose-and rediscover-ourselves.Across the coastal landscapes of British Columbia, lonely houses, thrift stores, ferries, lighthouses, and forgotten rooms become places where the past lingers just beneath the surface. A man slowly inherits another person's life through a misplaced university card. An old lighthouse keeper encounters the ghost of his younger self. A brother mourning his sister begins to disappear into the person she once was. An elderly woman learns that memories survive only as long as someone is willing to carry them.Both unsettling and deeply compassionate, The Self Left Behind explores the fragile boundaries between remembrance and reinvention, asking what remains when the stories we tell about ourselves begin to change.For readers of literary fiction, psychological realism, and quietly haunting tales that linger long after the final page.I think the unifying theme of the entire collection could be expressed in a single line: These are stories about the people we become when memory, grief, and longing refuse to let go.That feels like the heart of The Self Left Behind.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/826/241/9798262415557_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "19.99", "online_price" : "19.99", "our_price" : "19.99", "club_price" : "19.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
