It Also Takes the Rain

The new release in the Lee Jarrett odyssey, from the author of Burnt Tree Fork...

This new novel picks up several years after Lee voyaged deep into the mountains of West Virginia searching for clues about his grandfather and an alleged double-murder. Now Lee is living in the Florida Keys, recovering from the death of his wife, and learning to fly fish for tarpon. He discovers a new romantic interest, both in fly fishing, and in Mary Lou who is also in the process of breaking free from her past. Together they develop a plan that leads them to Montana where they can start fresh. They are joined in the adventure by Lee’s aging uncle, who acts as sort of a spiritual mentor, and also a young man they adopted from a monastery, who may be clairvoyant, may be a savant, or may just be crazy.

This novel is written in the style of classic literature that readers of Sinclair Lewis, Saul Bellow, or Norman Mailer will appreciate.
