This book is about the striving and the secret nobility of people who live in a small-town American South. In these stories--thank heaven--not everything fits: they are loose, they are sometimes awkward, but just about everyone shines with revelation and awe in the face of momentary greatness and tragedy....Nearly every one of the stories could move a reader to tears, for in almost every one of them there is a moment of vision, or love, or unclothed wonder that transforms something plain into something transcendent.
