Winner of Kirkus Award for Independent novels, Dorie LaRue's remarkable collection of short stories from the postmodern South bears witness to the complicated lives of its characters as willful and courageous, doomed and redeemed. This book is about mothers and daughters and fathers and sons in a new age of rapidly changing roles. The truths that are impossible to ignore, the pain passed between generations will take readers on a journey of adventure sometimes tragic and sometimes absurdly funny.
