The Life of Gerald Glass

What does it take to make a dream real? The kind you have when you are eight years old and you wake up in a house that hums with the heat of a furnace and the people you love most in the world are already at work, and you want nothing more than to stand beside them and do what they do. Gerald Glass dreams about glass. He wakes up in his small room across the yard from the Hot House and the dream fades and the distance between what he dreamed and what he can actually do is the whole length of his life so far. This is a book about that distance. About closing it -- not in a flash of talent or a stroke of luck, but the way it actually closes. One morning at a time. This is a book where a boy discovers what his family has always known: that the work is the point, that craft is a language learned in the hands before the head, and that the foundation of anything worth building is laid long before you understand what you are building. What does it take to make a dream real...everything you do before you are ready. What to expect: BIG slice of life story Chapter releases M-F Slow, Slow, Slow power build.
