Russian Olive to Red King
by Kathryn Immonen and Stuart Immonen.
Published by AdHouse Books
When your lover may be dead, how long can you hold on to what remains? To whatever is left of you? A plane crash, a package, her dog, her voice. A notebook, his writer’s block, and heat-distorted summer memories of a search for Jumbo the Elephant and an absent father.
