This Ditch-Walking Love

Tartt First Fiction Award! This Ditch Walking Love tells the stories of a rural Alabama county on the Cumberland Plateau. A field row to pick through, a river bluff to jump from, or a drive out to Jick's to see his hellfire cars might serve up enough for the people who live here, looking for what they can't make full on their own. Money is scarce. Truth is limited. Desire is the only thing of worth.
