Harley should be in college, enjoying her freedom, picking up girls and dreaming about the future. Instead, he lives in a small town with three sisters to look after, mortgage debt and a job from dawn to dark. His mother is behind bars and his father was killed. Harley wanders through the dark evening countryside in his wreck and there await him stunning surprises that will tear his heart and life to pieces - the truth about his father, the truth about his mother, the truth about himself, the truth about his love.

This disturbing and surprisingly poignant novel, full of sarcastic humor, has been compared to Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye.” Like Holden, Salinger's hero, Harley openly talks about his heightened perception of life, about its injustice, about the fact that he did not care about morality and decency if they go against love. This is a novel about suppressed love, about devotion to family, about the fact that even the darkest chapter of your life can be told with incredible and heart-tugging humor. The novel is about the fact that the most important thing in life is the heart.
