True Grit meets Of Mice and Men on a Kerouac-ian road trip in this coming-of-age story that pays homage to the musical legends that inspired it.
It is 1948 in the American Southwest where a young man, groomed to be a criminal by a cruel uncle, is on a path to destruction. If redemption exists he must risk everything to find it or die trying.
JACKS, KINGS & ACES (86,000 words) is a literary blend of adventure and coming-of-age in a historical framework that results in a chosen family tale. Combining the dark and gritty undertones of The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt with the bildungsroman, road adventure of The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles, this is the story of a young man, growing up in the shadow of his uncle, whose life is changed by the kindness of relative strangers.
