Summary
In the small town of North River, every day that goes by bleeds into the next. Poverty begets hopelessness, hopelessness begets violence, violence begets despair. The only way to change fate, a minister tells his son, is to leave. The… minister’s son, Jake MacNeil, chooses to ignore his father’s advice. Only when he realizes what has become of his life - working a gruelling dead-end job, living with a drunk, friends with a murderer - does he decide to make something of himself. But nothing comes without a cost. c2014.
