Synopsis

Sapper Reeves, a gifted country musician working the back roads and taverns of the Appalachian South after World War II, finds his music as overlooked as the country he travels. Currey's explorations of a father's love for his son, a veteran's enduring dignity, and a love affair spanning half a century "stir the heart and mind in ways only the best fiction can" (Dallas Morning News).

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Richard Currey's Lost Highway has attracted a legion of admirers since its initial publication in 1997. The book depicts the epic struggle of an ordinary person living his dreams and following his passion. Lost Highway is the story of Sapper Reeves, a gifted country musician from the small town of Maxwell, West Virginia. Sapper’s story covers the events of more than half a century, from his birth in a poor coal mining town through his travels on the back roads of Appalachia in search of recognition and respect. Along the way, Sapper’s embattled love for his wife and struggle to come to terms with his combat-wounded son form the basis of his artistic and personal redemption.
