520    Castle Rock, Maine.  Scott Carey has been steadily losing 
       weight. He doesn't look different, and he weighs the same 
       in his clothes and out of them, no matter how heavy they 
       are. Scott doesn't want to be poked and prodded; he just 
       wants someone else to know, and he trusts Doctor Bob 
       Ellis. At home, Scott is engaged in an escalating battle 
       with the lesbians next door whose dog regularly drops his 
       business on Scott's lawn. One of the women is friendly; 
       the other, cold as ice. They are trying to launch a new 
       restaurant, but the people of Castle Rock want no part of 
       a gay married couple, and the place is in trouble. As 
       Scott tries to help the couple, the annual foot race and 
       the mystery of Scott's affliction bring out the best in 
       people who have indulged the worst in themselves and 
       others. -- adapted from publisher info 
520    "Set in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine The 
       latest from legendary master storyteller Stephen King, a 
       riveting, extraordinarily eerie, and moving story about a 
       man whose mysterious affliction brings a small town 
       together--a timely, upbeat tale about finding common 
       ground despite deep-rooted differences. Although Scott 
       Carey doesn't look any different, he's been steadily 
       losing weight. There are a couple of other odd things, 
       too. He weighs the same in his clothes and out of them, no
       matter how heavy they are. Scott doesn't want to be poked 
       and prodded. He mostly just wants someone else to know, 
       and he trusts Doctor Bob Ellis. In the small town of 
       Castle Rock, the setting of many of King's most iconic 
       stories, Scott is engaged in a low grade--but escalating--
       battle with the lesbians next door whose dog regularly 
       drops his business on Scott's lawn. One of the women is 
       friendly; the other, cold as ice. Both are trying to 
       launch a new restaurant, but the people of Castle Rock 
       want no part of a gay married couple, and the place is in 
       trouble. When Scott finally understands the prejudices 
       they face-including his own--he tries to help. Unlikely 
       alliances, the annual foot race, and the mystery of 
       Scott's affliction bring out the best in people who have 
       indulged the worst in themselves and others. From Stephen 
       King, our "most precious renewable resource, like 
       Shakespeare in the malleability of his work" (The 
       Guardian), Elevation is an antidote to our divisive 
       culture, as gloriously joyful (with a twinge of deep 
       sadness) as "It's a Wonderful Life.""--|cProvided by
