I hold up my lighter and turn it full-flame for [Garth] Stein’s latest work. Encore!”—The Seattle Times\n\n“Compelling.”—Seattle Post-Intelligencer\n\n“Stein handles the many narrative elements deftly.”—Seattle Weekly\n\n“An engrossing family drama.”—Publishers Weekly\n\nEvan had a hit single, but that was ten years ago. Thirty-one now, he’s drifting, playing in a local band and teaching middle-aged men to coax music from an electric guitar.\n\nBeset at a young age with a life-threatening form of epilepsy, he’s kept his condition a secret. But his deepest secret is that he got his high school sweetheart pregnant. Then her conservative parents whisked her out of Seattle and out of Evan’s life.\n\nNow, fourteen years later, he experiences unplanned parenthood when he undertakes to raise the resentful teenage son he’s never known.\n\nOff beat and disarming, How Evan Broke His Head and Other Secrets portrays a contemporary American family with unfailing honesty.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1569474982\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1569474982.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Stein, Garth\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
