More DescriptionAt a time in America when emerging women were battling for their rights, in a small out-of-the way hamlet in the rural south, we happen upon a love story between an over-indulgent woman who is desperate to restrain the ruthlessness of time and an idealistic, young lad who doesn't fit into the landscape of his surroundings. It is an unsuitable romance that has to be shamefully hidden from the Bible community and from her abusive and dangerous husband. But she's quickly losing control of the situation and herself. The Promise of an Errant Highway is in the tradition of the great southern character-driven novels of yore as the characters are led down this highway of promise and heartbreak and shame, relying on friends and family and sometimes having nothing on which to rely but luck and fate and sometimes a pill that allows you to "let go".
