Reviews
In Morris's "strong and painful" first novel, Aubrey Wallace, a simple, good-hearted laborer on a Vermont road crew, falls for Dotty--cute, tarty, amoral and utterly freaked-out--who lures him away from his family to a wandering, criminal half-life on the road, with a kidnapped child in tow. "The story drives inexorably to its cynical and wrenching climax, fueled on booze, drugs and human misery," noted PW.
