Read an excerpt
A few lines from the book.
This book took fourteen years to write. Not because it is long. But because I needed to live it first.
My world is a construction site at quarter to seven on a November morning. Concrete, coffee in a paper cup, and a site manager who has just been told half the crew is out sick.
That is the world I wrote this for.
