From the nineteenth century German immigrants who settled on a small Midwestern farm, to the proud and upright aunts and uncles with whom Sandlin spent the summers of his youth, a whole history of quiet ambition and stoic pride--of successes, failures, and above all endurance--leaps off the page in a sweeping American family epic. Touching on The Great Depression, WWII, and the American immigrant experience, \u003ci\u003eThe Distancers\u003c\/i\u003e is a beautiful and stark Midwestern drama, about a time and place long since vanished, where the author learned the value of family and the art of keeping one's distance.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67393016332333,"sku":"WHS-bc7987c166304622a7e5e8784ac1753a","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_e694cff1-e155-4149-afec-c1d9b24974d9.jpg?v=1787370501","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/distancers-an-american-memoir","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
