From the author of The Trigger and The Crippler comes a provocative and poignant book of short stories that explores how emotional legacies shape our actions, attitudes, and aspirations. ... A palace guard faces her mortality when she becomes an unwitting participant in a coup... A Tucson-based migrant trafficker risks it all to make his final run... A German boy treks across Medieval Europe in search of salvation... The diverse narratives in Vestiges by Daniel J. Patinkin bring to the fore the visceral angst, excitement, heartbreak, and joy that are precipitated by profound and intimate human experiences. Deftly investigating themes of love and loss, isolation and connection, trust and betrayal, hope and despair, this rich examination of life in disconnected times takes readers around the world and through the ages to reveal our shared humanity. Daniel J. Patinkin is the author of The Trigger: Narratives of the American Shooter (Arcade, 2018) and The Crippler: Cage Fighting and My Life on the Edge (Skyhorse, 2016). He possesses a BA from Indiana University and an MFA from the University of Southern California. He resides in Chicago. Praise for the Author
