A Thousand Miles of Road

A Thousand Miles of Road is a collection of eight stories, including three novelettes, which take us through the lives of everyday people whose journey is upended by the existence of another.Melanie, who after enduring years of domestic brutality, escapes her ruthless husband the only definitive way possible, and from behind the counter of a jewelry store years later, she helps a man take the same dark path out of his own prison.Maggie has a disease growing inside her, but when even the doctors won't believe her, she is forced to search through the abuse of her childhood to find her own escape from what is killing her.When Mary comes to, a hundred miles from where she was the night before, in the apartment of the last person she'd ever want to wake up next to, she must find her way back to where she started, if that place even exists anymore.In these and other stories, Joseph Kraus explores the duress of being alive through characters whose struggles feel like a thousand miles of hard road.
