Eighteen-year-old Jesse Wheeler's comfortable suburban existence crumbles after his father dies, leaving his naive son adrift and without prospects. After graduating (barely) from high school, Jesse finds a summer job humping garbage for Willard Sanitation Service with a crew of felons - Pickles, Zeus, Grits and their foreman Billy Bart-in the flyspeck town of Freedom. A coworker introduces Jesse to his niece, a plain-speaking young woman named Iris who reshapes Jesse's universe. Jesse's ability to survive the punishing lessons inflicted by his co-workers while winning their grudging respect and friendship fills this gritty coming-of-age story with warmth, laughter and heartache.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Neville\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e IFD Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.48d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798985282764\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IFD Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40891916877939,"sku":"9.79899E+12","price":16.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_47a5dd05-a81a-4e95-aaf6-d4a1874cbe88.jpg?v=1689858402","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-garbage-brothers-9798985282764","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
