A teen-age girl is awakened in the wee hours of the morning to
serve as her father's getaway driver when he pulls a shotgun
robbery at a poker game. A woman bar owner in the French Quarter
shoots a drug-addled, would-be robber dead, then covers up the
incident with the help of the police. A small boy in Alabama loses
his innocence with the death of a goldfish. From the author of The
Letter Writer, the engaging Civil War novel, now comes this
poignant collection of short stories set along the Gulf Coast that
are at once humorous, touching and disturbing portraits of
working-class people, and blaze a new trail directly into the heart
of the American South.
