Synopsis
Winner of the Selena McDonald Kennedy Fiction Award. Includes "Gallopers," which was awarded the Arts & Letters Prize for Fiction.
Meet the men and women who dwell on the far side of the California Dream: a war vet who rustles cactus near Palm Springs, a teenager living in the shadow of Disneyland about to be pulled into the draft, a Hollywood actress on the run from a violent past, a North Coast fisherman whose marriage founders when his son is lost at sea. Spare but lyrical, these beautiful tales of love, loss, and redemption, where place is as much a character as the people, take readers on an unforgettable journey along the deep river of the human spirit.

Review
- Dwight Holing's work compels us with the texture of its language, entering us like music and insisting that we feel the story on more than one level as we read it. This is a writer who impresses us with his eye and ear and heart. -- Judson Mitcham, Poet Laureate of Georgia
- Dwight Holing tells brutal, beautiful stories. Whether it's learning a new job, being alone for the first time, losing everything, or any number of experiences, Holing captures that sense of discovery, both good and bad, that being young can have on the whittling away of a naive soul. Holing's style packs a roundhouse kick to the head in each take...it is the story "Salt" that not only pounds on the reader's sensibilities and emotions but claws at the soul. -- Dean Poling, The Valdosta Daily Times
