The year is 2112, and the United States has recently been torn apart by a nuclear world war and a civil war. Even Silver Creek, New York-the hometown of Devonshire Jones-has become all but a shattered, hopeless place to live. In the aftermath of war and destruction, for Devonshire, life has become a series of monotonous, endless tasks: find fresh water, stock up on provisions, fix what is broken, repeat-all for what? To build a new life all alone? And that is what Devonshire is: all alone in an old farmhouse with no one but a cat and himself to talk to. And although there are others around town, he just can’t break free from his mind. For, although the wars are over, another war still rages on in Devonshire’s head; his mind keeps taking him down a dark road to his past, a place full of regrets, lost chances, and painful memories. What if I didn’t do this? What if I didn’t say that? And how could anyone not sit in the past, imagining it differently, when the future stretching out forever is so bleak? Or is it? Maybe there is a chance to make peace and live for today. But what will it take for Devonshire to do so?The Cracks Between Paved Stones is a thoughtful, compelling story of love, loneliness, acceptance, and why we must keep moving forward.
