Description
In the rugged landscape of rural North Carolina, a young man's life is marked by the harsh realities of his family's methamphetamine ring. Jacob McNeely has been working for his father's operation for years, but a fatal mistake sets him on a path of redemption. As he grapples with the consequences of his actions, Jacob must choose between loyalty to his family and a chance to escape with the girl he loves. The world of Cashiers, North Carolina, is one of stark contrasts, where the beauty of the surroundings is matched only by the cruelty of the people. David Joy's lyrical prose brings to life a world of grit and gravel, where the soul and blemishes of the place are laid bare. A powerful and intimate coming-of-age novel, Where All Light Tends to Go is a remarkable exploration of the human condition.
