An Assembly of Small Things

By Erle Enson

If the world doesn't wreck him, he'll do it himself.

Dave Telford's life had no trigger warnings. It should've come with all of them.

The torment of an abusive childhood, volatile affairs of the heart, creeping addiction. Even a revenge killing or two.

Coming of age all alone in the turning tides of the '90s is hard. Learning how to survive in a raw-nerve industrial town like Hinton, in Alberta's Rocky Mountain foothills, is harder still.

It's all fun and games and blondes and brunettes, until Dave meets Ellie. But even with a smart and loving partner like her to anchor him in place, he can't quite hold himself together.

Dave's not giving up on himself, or Ellie. Ruin awaits at every turn, but he's determined to find order in life's chaos and assemble a broken existence into something meaningful.

Piece by piece, if that's what it takes.
