A Scarecrow's Bible
(2006)
--
Nominated 2006
Lambda Literary Gay Men's Debut Fiction Awards
In a house trailer in rural Mississippi, Gary, a married
Vietnam veteran, addicted to drugs, haunted by memories of the past, is on the
brink of collapse. Just when he thinks the dream of another life is over, the
unspeakable happens. He falls in love with a frail, ghostly younger man who
reminds him of youth, beauty, and the possibility of a life beyond the prison
he has created for himself. A Scarecrow’s Bible is about what happens when
love occurs at the most unexpected moment. It is the story of how
working-class men and women in a small town adapt to changes that somehow seem
impossible. It is a novel of hope and transformation that challenges our ideas
about diversity and social change, breaking your heart all the way.
