Then, teen lovers found Pat drowned in his Jaguar coupe, submerged in a lake at the end of a secluded dirt road in the woods. The medical examiner said suicide, but a receipt for dry ice let attorney Shawn O'Donovan realize that Pat was murdered. Just after impoverished Torch Walsh quit his dead-end job to manage a company Pat left him, Pat's unscrupulous successor began a vicious attempt to steal Torch's business using a lawsuit, perjury, false arrest of Torch's mother, extortion, and murder.
Shawn fights overwhelming odds to protect Torch and his mother, threatened at every turn. Themes of inequality, corruption, and Shawn's struggle with alcohol twist into a fast-paced who-and-how-done-it, concluding at the menacing end of the Dirt Road to Death. Booker Prize winner James Kelman's new novel, Dirt Road, tells the story of a teenage boy who travels with his father from Scotland to Alabama to visit with relatives after the death of his mother. In the American South, he becomes swept up into the world of zydeco and blues.
Stopping at a small town on their way from the airport, Murdo happens upon a family playing zydeco music and joins them, leaving with a gift of two CDs of Southern American songs.
On this first visit to the States, Murdo notices racial tension, religious fundamentalism, the threat of severe weather, guns, and aggressive behavior, all unfamiliar to him.
Yet his connection to the place strengthens by way of its musical culture. Murdo may be young but he is already a musician. Dirt Road is a powerful story about the strength of family ties, the consolation of music, and one unforgettable journey from darkness to light.
With a past so dirty and a life so stained how could she possibly find love and acceptance? How could tragedy and pain lead to healing and grace?
Is it possible for this dirt road that meant death lead to life, love and a future filled with a hope never capable of before? For Chris these are the questions she will toil with as Mary Jane brings life back into a hopeless soul. Will Chris be able to find purpose in a life filled with regret?
Can grace and love really take crimson stains and turn them white as snow? A moving coming-of-age story, written, possibly by one of the last of Southerners to grow up on a working sugar plantion. Told through the eyes and voice of the young son of the white overseer, this is a unique and heartfelt remembrance of events past, and a portrait of a time and place on the cusp of dramatic change.
Effortlessly, he moves back and forth across the lines of segregation, while navigating a whites-only life at church and school, then returns to the lively black community on the plantation. But slowly, surely, he begins to lose his childhood innocence, at the same time, he sees the different way which society treats whites and blacks.
Mag, a black woman who is like a second mother, is forced to leave the plantation when she looses her field-worker man to a younger woman. From that day on, her empty hosue in the workers' Quarters is a reminder of how fast everything is changing in his small world, which he loves. A rare snowstorm on Thanksgiving Day brings out the difference between his life in the "Big House," to the life lived by the plantation workers in the row of small houses along the dirt road.
Billy struggles to find meanings in their lives, and bridge the separation between his life and lives of the black workers as best he can. While this way of life has faded into history, his memories of that life have not. A stunning portrait of life in a unique era that will never be again, eloquently told by a man who lived it. The story of of the orphan boy Moon, begun in Watt Key's award-winning Alabama Moon, continues with Dirt Road Home After his recapture, gutsy year-old Hal Mitchell is sentenced to live at Hellenweiler, an institution that is more like a jail than the boys' home it's supposed to be.
In that time, we debated some serious questions among ourselves. Would backpackers subscribe to it in sufficient quantity to make the magazine self-supporting from its subscriptions?
We would not want to depend upon advertising for revenues to publish. That might put some serious limits upon our editorial policy. Reliable sources estimate that the number of backpackers now on the trails is three times the number there were in Or, to put it another way, the number of new backpackers last year exceeded the total number of backpackers three years ago.
