From acclaimed author Alan Cheuse—National Public Radio's longtime "voice of books"—come two novellas of compelling intensity. In these journeys of intimacy and revelation, two questing souls travel very different landscapes on their ways toward new understandings of love and loss.

In "The Fires," Gina Morgan makes a pilgrimage to Uzbekistan to carry out her husband's final wish only to discover that in this former Soviet republic things are not as they used to be. And in "The Exorcism," Jack Swanson retrieves his angry daughter from her exclusive New England college after her expulsion for setting fire to a grand piano. Publisher's Weekly has praised Cheuse's "impressive command of many voices," and New York Times Book Review called his work "richly imagined." In The Fires, Alan Cheuse demonstrates once more the poetry and range of his literary gifts in these finely-honed portraits of hope and change.
