Opis

What if everything you love disappeared? Born from Ashes is a modern-day story about love, loss, hope, and redemption, set in San Francisco. When Miles Burns, a twenty-five-year old, uninspired writer discovers infidelity in his relationship, he begins his social descent, losing his girlfriend, place of residence, bookstore job, and best friend. Financial desperation leads Miles to reluctantly accept an employment offer from a Heidi Fleissesque hustler named Antoinette. On his dark-humored journey toward redemption, Miles moonlights as a coy escort named Hefner and encounters a variety of tragically amusing clients, each illustrating the idea that not all is what it appears to be. Born from Ashes is a fast-paced tour around the streets of San Francisco with hipster, West Coast characters offering a grab bag of urban adventures, misadventures, and unexpected events. Artist-types, thrill-seekers, modern-day romantics, and daring readers are encouraged to take the tour.
