Sale Price:$20.00 Original Price:$22.00

The last Midwestern traveling circus is due to arrive in a rural village it has visited for a century of summers. Like the village, the circus is on its last leg. It’s down to one elephant and a handful of acrobats. The circus boss’s sweetheart is dying. The former starring act is recovering from cancer. The assistant, Frank, plans to retire after this show. Meanwhile, twins Heza and Abe wander the hot fields and roads, waiting for the circus or anything better. Hezada! I Miss You is a novel that explores tradition, love, and suicide—set under the fading tents of small-town America and the circus.

“It’s haunting. It’s lovely. It’s an utterly painful and beautiful look at how life passes. Exploring the consequences of a suicide from those intimately involved to those on the sidelines, Pringle’s unflinching view sets a summer circus as a backdrop for everything lost when life is gone.”

The Austin Chronicle

“Mournful, funny, piercing, and profound, Erin Pringle’s Hezada! I Miss You is a stirring, vivid novel [and] breathtaking work of art.”

—Sharma Shields, author of The Cassandra
