In “Just Relax,” a young woman jaded by attempts to travel (and save) the world returns home to become a Pilgrim reenactor in a theme park. In “Not the Point,” a mother tries to connect with her teenage son after his twin brother’s suicide. And in “The Secret Dog,” a man stuck in a futile marriage dreams up a loyal, affectionate, and completely imaginary compensatory pet . Whether trapped in the flat, bleak fields of rural Indiana, in a lonely walk-up in New York City, or in their own heads, the characters of \u003ci\u003eFar-Flung\u003c\/i\u003e are all deftly handled with the compassion and humor that mark Cameron’s best work.","brand":"Open Road Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140737679600,"sku":"9781453250358","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781453250358_p0.jpg?v=1763846456","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781453250358","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
