Heartfelt, lyrical, and moving, these stories make you feel the texture
of your life alter while you're immersed in them. This remarkable book
announces the arrival of a brilliant young writer.--Robert Boswell
Stories set in rural Georgia investigate small moments that illuminate
life-altering struggles: a man slipping into dementia is abandoned at a
diner with his granddaughters; a farmer's son discovers his love of
carving wooden birds but buries his creations in shame; bait dogs are
left to die, chained in the woods, when they grow too old to fight.
