And done.\u003cbr\u003eIn the Rhode Island backwater town of Sowams at the base of Mount Hope—or Montaup—a childhood traffic accident has rendered Jate Tavino, skull-plated, growth-stunted, and rattled-up good. As an adolescent Jate can’t match the mental prowess of his non-identical twin brother Ross, or thephysical stamina of his street-wise pal, Pruney Mendoza. \u003cbr\u003e Both Pruney and Ross lament, “Jate don’t get things.” But Jate gets far more than isplate-in-the-headobvious. \u003cbr\u003e And Jate writes it all down: colorfully distorted regional history, hotly debated literature, ethnic religious rituals, tales of the dead, and hush-hushcross-your-heartsecrets of the living.\u003cbr\u003e Years of cross-country roving have provided J Dominic with the “praspective” expressed by Jate’s dad, “You never get such an up close view as when you’re far away.”","brand":"Bay Tree Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47036179710192,"sku":"9780996676502","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780996676502_p0.jpg?v=1763940946","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780996676502","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
