Failed journalist Josh Devlin ended up in a homeless shelter in Kentucky after wandering around for a year doing nothing. One day Josh runs into Alice, a runaway living in an old abandoned boxcar. He could see she needed food, so he brought her food from the homeless shelter, and brought her extra blankets as well. Later he decides to take her to his uncle's Café to try and see what he could do for her. They end up meeting more homeless trying to find their way through life. As the story goes on, Josh finds himself in a whirlwind of situations he never expected.
This story follows Josh and Alice long with a group of people with pretty much the same thing in common -- they have all at some point failed in life, leaving them all trying to force their way through life any way they can. Their journey of crime and horrific difficulties is anything but an easy one. Will these desperate folks be finally able to find redemption from their past life?
This is an interesting read following the rather difficult group of misfits. The author creates a cast of colorful southern based characters who will stay with you for a while. Shelly Frome is a great storyteller and weaves an action-packed story that will keep you turning the pages until the end. I had to keep reading to find out if these somewhat corrupt characters found the rightful place in life that they were looking for. If you like crime stories, this would be a great read for you; so grab a copy and enjoy for yourself!
