In an attempt to pick up the pieces of their lives, both Will and Phil load up their cars and hit the road -- unknowingly traveling toward a collision -- their destinies literally crashing together on I-95. From the moment their keys slip into the ignition, to the second their fenders clasp, every person with whom Will and Phil come in contact weaves a tapestry of narratives that gives a singular, vivid voice to the Deep South.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eClay McLeod Chapman is the author of the short story collection rest area.

Most of the works in this book have been out of print since they were originally published. In this rediscovered collection of Lyle Saxon's early short stories and character sketches, readers will take great pleasure in seeing in print for the first time in nearly a century some of the author's early classics such as \u003cem\u003eThe Last Reunion\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eWho Would Hunt for Spanish Doubloons and Pieces of Eight?\u003c\/em\u003e Also among the stories in this volume are metaphorical visions of Saxon's childhood, when Saxon was abandoned by his father and raised by his mother and grandparents. He draws other stories from contemporary headlines or images of antebellum gentility.

His efforts to help Cici cause her to self-destruct, and his world comes apart when Acey, believing that he's been unfaithful, walks out on him.
