From acclaimed author Lawrence Patchett, Have This Heart is a compulsively readable story collection about men who are trying to do better.

Whether training a rescue dog, starting a bucket chain to put out a raging fire, raising a marquee beside a line of Ferraris, or reporting on a sensitive workplace accident, the men in Have This Heart are striving for more. For connection, for humour, for a way back into the world.

Lawrence Patchett’s stories are about men at work and what happens when your life doesn’t let you hide. These are tightly coiled stories, rich with rough talk and fear-sweat and tenderness.
