Description

The World Made Straight by Ron Rash is a vivid and harrowing novel about two outsiders struggling to find their place in a rural community. When Travis Shelton stumbles upon a marijuana grove, he sets off a chain of events that leads him into the clutches of a ruthless farmer, Carlton Toomey. As Travis becomes embroiled in the lives of those around him, including Leonard Shuler, a man who has lost everything due to circumstance and betrayal, the lines between right and wrong begin to blur. The community's dark past and present collide, threatening to destroy the fragile bonds between its members. This is Ron Rash's subtlest exploration yet of the painful conflict between home and independence, a story that ultimately offers hope in the face of adversity.
