Synopsis

The Endless Fight is a mirror showing us seventy-five years of American love, loss, family, and occasionally redemption. In the serene wilderness of the Adirondack Park in the 1960s, a widow and a mistress unpredictable must overcome the legacy of a deadly railroad accident, while four decades later, a mother watches her son cut across the glassy surface of the lake before his unique disclosure. In the picturesque New Jersey town of Princeton, a couple gives shelter in a snowstorm to a man and woman who are not what they appear, and two decades later, a son loses the father he's just come to know honestly. In the dusty, flat expanse of Lubbock, Texas, a trailer-dwelling cowboy seeks justice for a murdered dog and a discarded life. Their diverse struggles, and the authentic (if sometimes unsettling) resolutions they reach, are at the same time nostalgic and immediately recognizable. "A powerful collection of stories that read like classics blooming with societal nuance, heartbreak, disappointment, and family upheaval, all told through the chords of a rock-solid voice." -- Jonathan Starke, author of the award-winning novel, You've Got Something Coming Bishop's characters are feisty contenders, battling miseries and frustrations with others and, just as often, with themselves, in these well-depicted stories that leave you rooting for them to be still standing at the final bell. --D. E. Lee, author of the award-winning novel, The Sky After Rain
