Praise for The Weight of This World
"Bleakly beautiful. . . [a] gorgeously written but pitiless novel about a region blessed by nature but reduced to desolation and despair."--Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review
In the hardscrabble mountains of North Carolina, three people struggle against the weight of the past to try to claim a better piece of this world for their own. A combat veteran returned from war, Thad Broom can't leave the hardened world of Afghanistan behind, nor can he forgive himself for what he saw there. His mother, April, is haunted by her own demons, a secret trauma she has carried for years. Between them is Aiden McCall, loyal to both but unable to hold them together. Connected by bonds of circumstance and duty, friend- ship and love, these three lives are changed forever when Aiden and Thad witness the accidental death of their drug dealer and a riot of dope and cash drops in their laps. In a place where times are tough and no good thing ever comes for free, this windfall will either be their salvation, or their undoing.
