About This Item
One day you're that guy, and the next day you're assigned to a social worker and a therapist and given the choice of either being a LEGAL ADULT with three DEPENDENTS or an ORPHAN with NOBODY." --From Back Roads Harley Altmyer should be in college drinking Rolling Rock and chasing girls. He should be freed from his closed-minded, stricken coal town, with its lack of jobs and no sense of humor. Instead, he's constantly reminded of just how messed up his life is.

Reviews
I read this in one sitting. It's a captivating and unusual story of a family's life in Kentucky. An amazing first novel for Tawni O'Dell (and a personal favorite of Nat's).
