Sullivan Road Pierce Lehmbeck

IN A WEE, OBSCURE part of backwoods Georgia, ill-educated Dru Sullivan and his precocious young nephew Bo forge a sustaining relationship in what one unfortunate visitor describes as ¿a hellhole full¿a drunks an¿ folks who are goddamn crazy.¿The boy-man, man-boy relationship is the thread binding SULLIVAN ROAD into a gripping tale of one Irish-American family and its struggle to survive in a racially diverse but sparse farming community during World War II. Dealing with a wagon-load of how-comes and a couple of pigsty murders, prayer and unflagging faith could be all the Sullivans and their neighbors of both races have left. From page to page, this novel is gripped with suspense, shock, belly-gripping humor and undeniable wisdom. Enjoy the laughs; you may be crying a page or two later.
