Product Description
This book is an evocative and often riotous hook and weave telling of the lives of the woeful and wondrous inhabitants of Indiahoma, Oklahoma, a small town "halfway between gone and went."
In the first of ten stories, "Ifs and Buts, Candy and Nuts," the reader meets Lucas Moody, the former town mayor and Korean War veteran in his sixties, who sees no reason to go on living. The tale follows Lucas through his failed suicide attempt which leads him to a house of tragedy and miracle. Forced to abandon his own troubles in a frantic attempt to save a dying family, Lucas saves himself.
About the Author
A. Ray Norsworthy, a well-traveled playwright and author who has lived in places as diverse as New York, Las Vegas, and the Mountains of Idaho and been influenced by his encounters with a wild bunch of characters, such as Sam Peckinpah, Ken Kesey and Larry McMurtry, draws the heart-pumping blood of these stories from his rural Oklahoma childhood spent on hardscrabble Indian leases and sharecrop farms between the creeks of Big and Little Beaver.
