The linked stories in \u003cem\u003eGuardians \u0026amp; Saints\u003c\/em\u003e explore the ways in which modern orphans fail to thrive. A girl loses her mother only to re-find her, in altered form, in a grim institutional afterlife. A group of friends spins helplessly around the death of a beloved teacher when his selfless pedagogy is called into question. Faced with the incapacity of those they depend on, Diane Josefowicz's characters appeal, with varying degrees of success, to stand-ins: teachers, mentors, therapists, guardians, and, occasionally, saints. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diane Josefowicz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornerstone Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.46d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781968148096","brand":"Josefowicz, Diane","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46841917047012,"sku":"9781968148096","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9587\/8628\/files\/9781968148096.jpg?v=1760464422","url":"https:\/\/bookandmortar.com\/products\/guardians-saints-diane-josefowicz-paperback","provider":"BookandMortar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
