Digging a Hole to the Moon

Digging a Hole to the Moon traverses the haunting and beautiful story of a generation struggling to survive the realities of the new recession. This collection chronicles the seemingly despair-filled lives of dreamers who try to find spirituality in the haunted mountains, deserts, and crumbling cities of California – Atheist faith healers, despairing angels, and tired immortals brush shoulders with hopeful teachers, politely depressed undertakers, and Byronic suburban street racers as they all search for some impossible transcendence, as they dig their holes toward the moon.
